Trump Prepares for State of the Union
Trump aims to regain support by highlighting immigration reform, tax policies, and national security amid a 36% approval rating, per CNN polling.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump reviewed his speech with advisers over the weekend and previewed it Monday, as Ross Worthington led drafting with senior aides while Trump mimicked the House chamber and invited new media outlets and the U.S. men’s hockey team.
- Amid political pressure, the address arrives as polls slide, Republicans fear losing at least one chamber of Congress, and the Supreme Court has undercut tariff policy amid talk of military action.
- Polls show approval dropping, with CNN at 36 percent and WaPo/ABC/Ipsos at 39 percent, while public opinion among independents is at 25 percent approval.
- Policy highlights will include the president’s goal to defend his record and tout immigration measures like the Laken Riley Act, aiming to rally support.
- Beyond politics, the Supreme Court decision has undercut his tariff agenda, and the State Department ordered departures from Lebanon amid potential action against Iran.
