How to observe the first joint speech at the Congress of Trump's second term

President Donald Trump will keep the first joint congress address of his second presidency on Tuesday evening.

It is not officially referred to as the state of the Union, a title that is reserved for an annual address of a president in other years. But it is an opportunity for Trump to present his priorities for the year.

Here you will find information on how to hire Trump's joint address on Tuesday:

When is the common address?

Trump's comments on the congress are scheduled to begin on Tuesday at 6 p.m. PT.

Where can I watch the address?

OPB becomes the president's address on Opb.org/livestream Livestream. People can also watch the reporting on PBS Newshours via the address in OPB TV and listen to the NPR special reporting via OPB radio.

Where does the address happen?

Trump's speech will take place in the US house chamber. It is larger than the Senate Chamber and can meet both the legislators of the House and the Senate and other officials who are normally invited to such events.

Who will be there?

Members of the U.S. Supreme Court and Trump's cabinet will take part.

However, a cabinet member is always missing. This person, who is called “named survivor” in the presidential sequence, is deliberately left out of such events to ensure that someone can take over the position of president in the event of a catastrophic or mass event.

The President usually invites guests who join the event from the balcony above the house floor and sit with the first lady. Sometimes there are personal connections, and sometimes guests have a connection to a problem that the President intends to highlight in his comments.

In his first joint speech after taking office in 2017, Trump invited the widow of the late judge of the Supreme Court Antonin Scalia and the widows of two California police officers who were killed by an illegally living man living in the country.

What happens afterwards?

Since there is a Union post state, the opposing party in this case will offer the Democrats of a message in response to the common congress address.

This year the Senator Elissa Slotkin, who previously worked in the house, will be the reaction of the Democrats, which is also broadcast on television. Democratic leaders said that Slotkin will probably focus on economic issues in her message.

The party also dismantled Rep. Adriano Espaillat from New York, chairman of the Hispanic Caucus, to give a Spanish -speaking answer. On Saturday, Trump signed an executive order in which English was shown as the official language of the United States, a measure that enables governmental authorities and organizations that receive federal finance, whether they should continue to offer documents and services in other languages ​​as English.

Why is this not called the state of the Union?

Traditionally, a state of the Union is a review of the previous year. Trump has his office on January 20 for the second time, so he has only been in office in office for a little more than a month.

Instead, the newly opened presidents usually use their first joint address addresses to look forward to looking forward and indicate a sound for their legislative agenda. According to the congress research service, the average number of political inquiries in an address in the first year is 42.
