How to watch and what to know about Trump's Tuesday address to a Joint Session of Congress (not officially a State of the Union)
Fox News ^ | 3/02/25 | Charles Creitz

President Donald Trump will address a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday, March 4 at 9 p.m. ET.

The forum is not officially a State of the Union address, which traditionally comes during the second, third and fourth year of a presidency.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., invited Trump earlier this month to address Congress on Tuesday.

"Thanks to your strong leadership and bold action in the first days of your presidency, the United States is already experiencing a resurgence of patriotism, unity, and hope for the future," Johnson wrote in a letter to Trump first obtained by Fox News Digital.

"Your administration and the 119th Congress working together have the chance to make these next four years some of the most consequential in our nation’s history," the speaker wrote.

"To that end, it is my distinct honor and great privilege to invite you to address a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, in the Chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives, to share your America First vision for our legislative future. I eagerly await your response."

Fox News Channel, Fox News Digital and Fox News Go will have live coverage of the event Tuesday evening.

I like the way you think.

And thanks for the heads up on this. I’d known it was coming but didn’t have the details.

This is a very important speech, could this be placed in Breaking News?

It needs to be highlighted somehow. This is a big, important speech and should be on everyone’s radar.

It's a damned good start.

The new narrative, “not officially a state of the union”. Reagan gave his in 81, and right on down yes line.

They literally made this up. Nowhere is it written that a state of the union can only be sent in the second third and fourth year.
Wonder what the goal is? Maybe just to degrade or discount anything Trump does?

“The forum is not officially a State of the Union address, which traditionally comes during the second, third and fourth year of a presidency.”

According to who? They are just trashing it for some petty reason. Could be as simple as them not wanting for the TV programs to start with an announcement of “The state if the union address”.

This is a brand new narrative

They said the same thing in 2017 about Trump, then in 2021 about Biden. Whatever the reason, I don’t get it— it is the same exact speech, to the same joint session. Why can’t a President comment on the State of the Union, even if he has only presided over it for a short while??

I want a President to finally walk in and declare to the Congress that the State of our Union is a disaster due to the damnable Leftist policies that have remained under Democrat and Republican administrations— and that it’s all changing.

Trump’s next first speech to Congress is bound to have little resemblance to his last first one
