President Donald Trump is set to deliver his first State of the Union address of his second term on Tuesday, after 13 months of break-neck deregulation, a record number of executive actions, mass layoffs, federal deployments, and much more.
Yet, with midterm elections on the horizon, a number of pain points threaten to overshadow the list of accomplishments Trump is sure to tout during his big, primetime speech.
Gov. Abigail Spanberger, Virginia's first woman governor and vocal Trump critic, will deliver the official Democratic response. Spanberger was elected last November in an off-cycle election dominated by Democratic wins that was seen as a warning sign for Republicans in the upcoming midterms.
Trump's State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress will begin at 9 p.m. EST on Tuesday, Feb. 24. PBS News will host continuous coverage starting with the 6 p.m. EST broadcast, followed by digital special coverage at 8 p.m., before PBS News Hour co-anchors Amna Nawaz and Geoff Bennett host on-air special coverage at 9 p.m.
