Rep. André Carson cited economic struggles, immigration enforcement issues, and wealth inequality as reasons for skipping the address to avoid endorsing failed policies, Carson said.
- U.S. Rep. André Carson confirmed he will not attend President Donald Trump's State of the Union on Tuesday night, citing frustration and exhaustion among Americans.

- Carson wrote in his public statement, `I will not help fill the audience to create any impression of support for Trump's failed policies,` explaining his decision to skip the address.
- Viewers could follow the address aired live on WTHR Channel 13 and streamed on WTHR+ and the WTHR mobile app.
- Amid broader pressure, analysts viewed the speech as a test run of Republican messaging for November, following a Supreme Court ruling last week and amid threats against Iran.
