President Donald Trump will deliver his State of the Union address on Tuesday (February 24), marking his first address of his second term. The speech, set to begin at 9 p.m. ET, will be broadcast live from Washington, D.C., and is expected to cover key issues such as immigration, the economy, and recent Supreme Court rulings.
You can listen to the State of the Union live on iHeartRadio’s 24/7 News station.
According to Fox News, the economy is expected to be a focal point of the address, with President Trump highlighting the gains his administration has made to lower inflation and rein in the high cost of living affecting many Americans.
According to a recent Pew Research Center survey, only 28% of Americans view the national economy as excellent or good, with a majority expressing concerns over tariffs and affordability. The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Trump’s tariff strategy has added uncertainty to his economic approach.
Immigration will also be a major topic during the speech. While the Trump administration has faced backlash over aggressive enforcement tactics, particularly in Minneapolis, where recent operations led to the deaths of two U.S. citizens, the president is expected to defend his policies to the public.
Foreign policy will also feature prominently, with Trump pressuring Iran to dismantle its nuclear program and contemplating military action. His administration’s approach has raised tensions with traditional allies, while Trump continues to advocate for an “America First” stance.
The address will be followed by a Democratic response from Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger, who is expected to critique Trump’s handling of economic and immigration issues. California Senator Alex Padilla will deliver the Spanish-language response.
