Congress Readies for Trump's Second SOTU -- GOP balks over wall emergency -- Nielsen Agrees to Testify -- Trump nominates Interior secretary
On the heels of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, President Donald Trump will deliver his second State of the Union address tonight — but it will be his first speech with a Democratic-controlled House. Here’s what to expect. The speech: In addition to immigration and national security, Trump will talk about abortion, prescription drug prices, infrastructure and trade. The president could also make some news: he has hinted he may unveil the details for his second meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and could declare a national emergency for the wall. As far as tone, Trump is expected to call for unity in front of a deeply divided Congress. But will the president stick to the script, or lean into his free-wheeling instincts? Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-Mich.) and members of the Democratic Women’s Working Group will hold a press conference to discuss “the state of women in our nation” at 3 p.m. in HVC Studio B.
