President Donald Trump is set to deliver his first joint congressional address of his second presidency, not officially labeled as the State of the Union. This address presents an opportunity for Trump to outline his priorities for the year ahead. Scheduled to commence at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday, various networks will broadcast the address, with the Associated Press offering a livestream online. The speech will be held in the U.S. House chamber, accommodating lawmakers, Supreme Court members, and Cabinet officials. A designated survivor, excluded from the event, ensures presidential succession in emergencies. Guests seated with the first lady may have personal or issue-related ties to the president’s remarks. Following the address, the Democrats, represented by Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin and Rep. Adriano Espaillat, will offer televised responses focusing on economic issues. The absence of the State of the Union title reflects the tradition of new presidents using their first joint addresses to set a legislative agenda, with an average of 42 policy requests. This event serves as a forward-looking platform for Trump, who began his second term recently.
