After President Trump concluded his SOTU, Nancy Pelosi appeared to rip up a copy of his speech
Photo: Mario Tama/Getty Images For the 2020 State of the Union, President Trump promised an “extraordinarily low-key” address, which Americans just might need during a tumultuous week of impeachment proceedings, calamity in Iowa, and a poorly scheduled Democratic debate coming on Friday.
And hits the economy as his greatest achievement The first 20 minutes of the president’s address referred almost exclusively to the country’s strong economic figures: “This is a blue-collar boom,” he told lawmakers, to strong applause. Whether or not that’s true, it’s by far the strongest message the incumbent has for his reelection bid, and he reiterated the point throughout his speech.
Republicans have their own chants Remarkably, a Tuskegee Airman is in the crowd Brigadier General Charles McGee, a member of the World War II–era black Air Force brigade known as the Tuskegee Airmen, was in the gallery — less than two months after celebrating his 100th birthday. On Sunday, McGee conducted the coin flip at Super Bowl LIV.
Though there are some notable absences in the crowd Several Democrats boycotted the speech, or simply skipped it to prioritize more important events on a hectic February schedule. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stated on Tuesday that she would not attend so as not to “normalize Trump’s lawless conduct & subversion of the Constitution.” Ten other House Democrats joined her in the action, including Ayanna Pressley, Maxine Waters, Al Green, and Tulsi Gabbard.
