All eyes will be on Washington tomorrow as President Trump delivers his first State of the Union address. The speech historically sets the political tone for the year, so politicians and civilians alike are waiting to see what 2018 will have in store.
Emma Vigeland, Politics Producer at The Young Turks, and Jenna Browder, Correspondent at CBN, discuss what to expect from the president's speech. They both agree that while the President will be on prompter, it's unlikely he will stick entirely to script.
Not everyone in Congress plans on attending tomorrow night's event. Eight Congressional Democrats including Rep. John Lewis (D-MD) and Maxine Waters (D-CA) are boycotting the State of the Union. Vigeland and Browder debate whether Democrats are in the wrong for not showing up.
President Joe Biden has met with new House Speaker Mike Johnson at the White House. Johnson was joined by Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries as they discussed Biden's request for nearly $106 billion for Israel, Ukraine and other national security needs.
The new leader of one of the chambers of Congress that will certify the winner of next year's presidential election helped spearhead the attempt to overturn the last one, raising alarms that Republicans could try to subvert the will of the voters if they remain in power despite safeguards enacted after the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
