Rep. Darren Soto Shares His Expectations For President Trump's First State Of The Union Address
President Trump addresses a joint session of Congress tomorrow to deliver his first State of the Union speech, which will set the tone for the next year in American politics.
Congressman Darren Soto (D-FL) will be in the audience. He gives his take on what to expect from President Trump's first State of the Union address. He also discusses Democrats' decision to tap Massachusetts Representative Joe Kennedy to deliver the party's response to the address. Rep. Soto says he thinks it was a great decision and that Kennedy is "a strong progressive."
Rep. Soto also shares his take on the news that FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is resigning from his position. Soto says that Special Investigator Robert Mueller needs to be able to complete the Russia investigation with no distractions, and that McCabe had "become a distraction."
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.
