WATCH LIVE: Trump Delivers His First Address to Congress
Will You Be Watching?
Tuesday night President Donald Trump will deliver his first address to a joint session of Congress. While not an official State of the Union address, the president will lay out his major objectives, some of which already this week are seeing strong pushback from Republicans in the House and Senate.
WHEN:
The speech is scheduled to begin at 9:00 PM EST.
HOW DO I WATCH?
You can watch on all major television broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, Univision) and on the cable news networks (CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and C-SPAN).
You can watch on the White House’s Facebook page.
You can also watch right here:
The Democrats will deliver a response immediately after Trump’s address. Former Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, who championed Obamacare in his very red state, will give the official Democratic Party’s response.
You can expect Trump to talk about “national security,” especially immigration, health care, and, according to reports, he will mention the anti-Semitic terror attacks on Jewish Community Centers and cemeteries.
You can also expect Trump to claim everything is going great, and say he is the most successful president in history, or, something equally trumpian.
As always, I will be sharing my personal observations live via Twitter: @davidbadash. NCRM will also be publishing news during the speech in case you aren’t able, for whatever reason, to watch.
