President Donald Trump is expected to deliver a joint address to Congress, outlining his efforts to reduce the size of the federal government in what critics say may overstep his authority. Trump has been making significant changes in both domestic and international policies, including a confrontation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that raised concerns about moving closer to Russia. In his speech, Trump plans to highlight his administration’s achievements, such as immigration reform, budget cuts, and diversity program eliminations. He will be joined by guests who have benefited from his policies, including Elon Musk, who has been involved in government efficiency initiatives. The speech is expected to have surprises and TV moments, and Trump may not travel around the country to promote his message post-address as past presidents have done. Vice President JD Vance will highlight key points of the speech during visits outside of Washington, including a trip to the southern border. Vance played a role in the confrontation with Zelenskyy and is expected to discuss security and economic visions in his responses. Senator Elissa Slotkin will deliver the Democratic response, focusing on party priorities and perspectives. Members of Congress will bring guests who have been impacted by Trump administration policies to highlight specific issues. Trump’s 2020 State of the Union speech focused on economic and migration records, and was torn up by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the end of his remarks.
