Trump Touts Economic Record in State of the Union, Seeking Reset Ahead of Midterm Elections
Democrats will largely skip or silently protest Trump’s speech, sending Epstein survivors and ICE victims as guests and holding a rally on the National Mall, organizers said.
- On Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2026, House leaders urged lawmakers to practice 'silent defiance' or skip the address, with more than two dozen Democrats planning a counter-rally.
- House and Senate Democrats planned split responses for Tuesday, urging silent defiance or skipping the speech to avoid last year’s disruptions and focus on victims like Epstein survivors and ICE victims.
- Party officials say there will be no coordinated interruptions inside the chamber, with Pramila Jayapal sending Epstein survivor Marijke Chartouni as her official guest while boycotting, and MeidasTouch and MoveOn Civic Action organizing the People’s State of the Union on the National Mall.
- The Democratic caucus is divided over tactics, with leaders warning that mobilizing factions risks diluting their message, as they aim to focus on policy grievances rather than protest theatrics.
- The Justice Department’s stalled disclosures on Epstein files, despite a law last year, highlight ongoing pressure from lawmakers and survivors for accountability.
