Tonight is President Trump’s fourth State of the Union address. The speech couldn’t come at a more fraught time for the President, as the Senate debates two articles of impeachment against him.

Trump is widely expected to deliver a speech that skips out on mentions of the impeachment trial that’s been lingering in the Senate for weeks. Follow along with our coverage below:

What To Expect

  • The House and Senate will meet for a joint session at 8:35 p.m. ET.
  • The actual State of the Union will begin at 9:00 p.m. ET.
  • The White House has suggested Trump will not comment on the two big stories of the day — impeachment and the caucus disaster in Iowa — but it's Trump, so who knows.

  1. I will be back tomorrow to view the response as I for one am not watching that shit show

  2. If you watch, count the sniffs. I predict 27 sniffs in a 40 minute speech.

  3. Collins and Murkowski are voting to acquit, despite all their chest beating.
    Quelle surprise.
    That leaves Romney to bipartisan the vote, but I ain’t holding my breath.

  4. Why 40 min.? Do they cut the lights after that?

  5. So you are putting yourself in the “heavily medicated” camp?
