How to watch Trump's speech to Congress
Trump to deliver first address of his second term
President Donald Trump is set to address a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night for the first time in his second term and is expected to deliver a speech to outline his plans for the nation under the theme of "The Renewal of the American Dream." Political analyst Rich Rubino joined LiveNOW from FOX to discuss.
WASHINGTON - On Tuesday, President Donald Trump will deliver the first joint congressional address of his second presidency – his first speech since returning to the White House six weeks ago.
His speech, which will take place in the U.S. House chamber, is not officially called the State of the Union, a title reserved for a president's annual address to Congress during other years of an administration.
Newly inaugurated presidents typically use their first joint congressional addresses to look forward and lay out their priorities for the year. According to the Congressional Research Service, the average number of policy requests in a first-year address is 42.
