“The Renewal of the American Dream”: President Trump to Address Joint Session of Congress Tonight, Marking His First Speech to Both Chambers

President Donald Trump is set to address a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, marking the first time he will speak to both chambers since returning to the White House.

The speech is not technically a State of the Union address, as these are intended to look back on the prior year. Usually Presidents make these remarks in January or February following their first year, reflecting on events of the previous year and outlining their policy priorities for the coming one. But President Trump has accomplished more in one month than most Presidents in all their four years. He is a force of nature.

White House officials told Fox News that the speech, themed “The Renewal of the American Dream,” will feature four main sections: accomplishments from Trump’s second term thus far at home and abroad; what the Trump administration has done for the economy; the president’s renewed push for Congress to pass additional funding for border security; and the president’s plans for peace around the globe.

House Speaker Mike Johnson in January invited Trump to address Congress to “share his America First vision for our future.” Presidents typically address Congress early in their terms to set out their agenda for their administrations.

In his letter, Johnson wrote: “America’s Golden Age has begun. Thanks to your strong leadership and bold action in the first days of your presidency, the United States is already experiencing a resurgence of patriotism, unity, and hope for the future.

“Your administration and the 119th Congress working together have the chance to make these next four years some of the most consequential in our nation’s history. To that end, it is my distinct honor and great privilege to invite you to address a Joint Session of Congress.”
