Trump to Address Congress March 4, Speaker Johnson Confirms

House Speaker Mike Johnson has invited President Donald Trump to deliver his first address to a joint session of Congress on March 4, 2025. This invitation marks an opportunity for Trump to share his 'America First' vision and outline legislative priorities early in his second term. Johnson's letter praises Trump's initial leadership and the renewed sense of patriotism and unity in the country. The address is not officially termed a 'State of the Union' as it comes early in the presidency, but it follows the tradition of new presidents delivering an early address to Congress. Trump's agenda includes plans to utilize tariff revenues for tax cuts, but some Republicans may oppose this strategy due to concerns over the economic impact of increased tariffs. The invitation comes as Republicans hold narrow majorities in both congressional chambers, necessitating strong party unity to advance Trump's policy goals.
