President Trump Invited to Deliver State of the Union Address Before Congress in 2026
House Speaker Mike Johnson has extended an invitation to President Donald Trump to deliver the annual State of the Union Address before a Joint Session of Congress next month. The invitation highlights the nation's strength, freedom, and prosperity under Trump's leadership and bold actions, emphasizing the significant accomplishments achieved during the administration's term. Trump last addressed Congress in March 2025, early in his second term, but it was not a State of the Union address. Johnson expressed Congress's anticipation of the important work ahead in 2026, serving the American people, defending liberty, and upholding self-governance.
The invitation specifically invites President Trump to address a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, in the Chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives. During Trump's previous address in 2025, Rep. Al Green from Texas was removed from the House chamber for an outburst shortly after the speech began. Trump referred to his 2024 election victory as a "mandate" for the future direction of the country. Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for further comments.
In conclusion, House Speaker Mike Johnson has formally invited President Donald Trump to deliver the State of the Union Address before a Joint Session of Congress in February 2026. The invitation reflects on the accomplishments of the administration and sets the stage for addressing the important work ahead in serving the American people and preserving the principles of self-governance.
