"No one has benefited more from our thriving economy than women," Trump said during his speech, noting that the demographic filled 58 percent of newly created jobs in 2018.

The women of the Democratic caucus, all dressed in white to honor the suffragettes, rose to their feet and applauded.

The chamber stood and cheered again when the president noted that there are more women in the workforce than at any other point in history.

"Don’t sit yet, you’re going to like this," he continued. "And exactly one century after Congress passed the constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote, we also have more women serving in Congress than at any time before.”

At that point, representatives from both parties stood and applauded.
