Welcome to Hot Air’s live blog of tonight’s State of the Union speech, Donald Trump’s first official SOTU event of his second term! We are all hands on deck tonight in this live blog – John Sexton, David Strom, and Beege will be commenting in real time here, and so will Duane “Generalissimo” Patterson. Plus, we may hear from some good friends via text and tweet, so stay tuned for surprises as we go!
Trump left the White House at 8:30 pm ET, along with First Lady Melania Trump. Vice President J.D. Vance will join Trump on the dais as president of the Senate, along with House Speaker Mike Johnson.
