On Saturday, January 25, 2025, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson issued a letter to Donald Trump inviting him to address a joint session of Congress in March.
“America’s Golden Age has begun. 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.
“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. 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.”
Trump is reportedly expected to accept the invitation and deliver his second term’s first State of the Union address on Tuesday, March 4. If so, it would be nearly one week later than when he delivered his first State of the Union address in 2017, but nearly two months earlier than when former President Joe Biden delivered his first State of the Union in 2021.
