The president is due to address both houses of Congress at 9pm ET less than 24 hours before his expected acquittal by the Senate
Multiple veteran political reporters compared the atmosphere of Trump’s State of the Union to that of his campaign rallies, as Republican lawmakers chanted, “Four more years!” in the House chamber.
This is basically a Trump campaign speech rather than a State of the Union.
This is SOTU as Trump campaign rally.
Lots of Democrats with heads in hands as GOP members shout and cheer, the physical manifestation of a divided country.
Although House speaker Nancy Pelosi has reportedly asked her caucus members to remain composed tonight, some Democrats audibly groaned when Trump boasted about reversing the “failed economic policies” of the Obama administration.
Groans from the Dem side when the president says "if we hadn't reversed the failed economic policies of the previous Administration, the world would not now be witnessing this economic success."
FACT CHECK:
On the "failed policies" of Obama:
*First 35 months Trump, eco added about 191,000 jobs per month. Last 35 months of Obama, approx 227,000 jobs each month.
That’s 36,000 fewer jobs each month under Trump*#SOTU
