(CNN)House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Friday that just because the federal government is expected to fully reopen soon does not necessarily mean that President Donald Trump's State of the Union address will take place next week.
At a news conference following Trump's announcement that there was a deal to end the partial government shutdown, Pelosi was asked by a reporter if the State of the Union will go on as originally scheduled for Tuesday night.
"The State of the Union is not planned now," the California Democrat responded, standing next to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat.

But did anyone really expect Trump to win this one either? By caving in to a 3 week delay?
I expected him not to fold.
PWNED!
I think when the pussy air traffic controllers started warning they were going to shut down the airports he had no choice. Now what he needs to do is see about privatizing both the TSA and the air traffic controllers.
What did Trump get out of this?
The people that hate him still hate him, and now the base is pissed off.
You can thank a lack of support for Trump in congress for nancy’s success. Seriously, they have been out to stop Trump from the beginning. They are just looking for a reason they can remove him from office. That is why they have supported the mueller investigation this whole time. The republican party is dead, I hope I am not alone as an independent voter.
I bet she will continue to delay the SOTU until this 3 week delay is over.Then if Trump still refuses to meet her every demand - No SOTU in the House.
He got Nancy to play her last Ace (SOTU).
Now it'll look negative on her for denying Trump his SOTU when she herself said he could do it once the shutdown was over.
Also, the Border Patrol and other essential DHS and Coast Guard need to get paid.
This is a 4th Quarter timeout, not a cave.
The problem with being an “Independent Voter” is that there’s still nobody to vote for.
He folded his hand in this poker game, which is not yet over.
SOTU not planned? Well she must not want to fly in military aircraft for a very long time, if its not planned in the next week or two.
Sorry, I’m not seeing it. Pelosi is getting raves for standing up to Trump, even her Rat detractors love her now.
I, for one, am sorely disappointed. This isn’t the first time, but it is the worst.
“Trust The Plan”.
What “plan”?
I am fed up with watching these stinking Commies turning our country into a Third World Communist Shithole and NOBODY at all seems to want to do anything to stop it.
Including Trump.
In the words of Chuck Schumer hope he has learned his lesson.
Start the G-D Civil War NOW! There is NO compromise with leftist Commies so what are we wating for, another 10 million illegals? Cut the h-ll out of leftist (R)s also.
When “she’s” ready and not before.
F The Plan!
Well, I guess President Pelosi will send a decree when she has chosen the date for the SOTU.
McConnell screwed his nation and on purpose. But people don’t like Pelosi and her hubris will be viewed negatively. A shutdown was never a good tactic because democrats don’t care about anyone or this country.
