'It's the State of the Union. I just think there's no way you talk about that and that not be the takeaway,' Florida Senator Marco Rubio said.
As the impeachment trial in the Senate comes to a close, and Donald Trump prepares to deliver his fourth State of the Union address Tuesday evening, Republicans are urging the president to provide a unifying and positive message that avoids more divisive topics, such as impeachment and Ukraine.
Trump will face the unusual circumstance of delivering his address amid an ongoing impeachment trial that is expected to result in his acquittal. The Senate will vote Wednesday afternoon to acquit or convict Trump for two impeachment articles alleging abuse of power and obstruction of Congress for his Ukraine dealings.
But Trump's presidency has been far from politics as usual. Whether he heeds the advice from members of his own party is a question that looms large. In his annual address last year, Trump could not resist fromof election interference by Russia. President Donald Trump walks through the doors to the House Chamber to deliver the State of the Union address in the chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives at the U.S. Capitol Building on February 5, 2019, in Washington, D.C.GOP senators cautioned that while they'd prefer Trump to steer clear of discussing impeachment, history has shown that it's anyone's guess what he'll choose to do.
