President Donald Trump is scheduled to deliver his first joint congressional address of his second term in the White House in Washington D.C. on Tuesday night. The address, set for 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, will be broadcast live by various media outlets, including USA TODAY and major television networks like ABC, NPR, Fox News, and PBS. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, extended the invitation to Trump through a letter in January, emphasizing the opportunity for the president to share his vision for the country’s legislative future.

Although this speech is not officially termed the State of the Union address due to Trump’s recent inauguration, it follows a tradition of new presidents delivering similar speeches shortly after taking office. Previous presidents such as Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden have all given unofficial addresses in the early months of their presidencies. This event marks the seventh occasion of such an “unofficial” address, according to the American Presidency Project.

Viewers can stream the historic event live through USA TODAY’s coverage or tune in to major television networks for the broadcast. The address promises to provide insights into Trump’s legislative priorities and vision for the nation’s future. Overall, this joint congressional address serves as a pivotal moment for the president to communicate his agenda to Congress and the American public.
