President Donald Trump will speak before a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday at 9 p.m. Eastern Time.
The speech is not officially a State of the Union speech, which is traditionally held starting in the second year of a presidency.
“It is my distinct honor and great privilege to invite President Donald Trump to address a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, to share his America First vision for our future,” Johnson wrote in a social media post announcing the invitation in January.
Johnson also shared a letter formally inviting the president to address the House and Senate.
“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,” Johnson wrote.
“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,” the speaker continued.
“To that end, it is my distinct honor and great privilege to invite you to address a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, in the Chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives, to share your America First vision for our legislative future. I eagerly await your response,” Johnson added.
RSBN will provide live coverage beginning at 7 p.m. Eastern Time.
Trump is expected to highlight his numerous political wins during the first seven weeks of his administration. Many of these have come through several executive orders, with more than 70 already signed, in addition to proclamations.
The president is also expected to focus on illegal immigration, including his first signed bill, the Laken Riley Act.
On Saturday, Trump posted an update on border security touting record lows.
“The month of February, my first full month in Office, had the LOWEST number of Illegal Immigrants trying to enter our Country in History – BY FAR! There were only 8,326 apprehensions of Illegals by Border Patrol at the U.S. – Mexico Border, all of whom were quickly ejected from our Nation or, when necessary, prosecuted for crimes against the United States of America. This means that very few people came – The Invasion of our Country is OVER,” he wrote.
“In comparison, under Joe Biden, there were 300,000 Illegals crossing in one month, and virtually ALL of them were released into our Country. Thanks to the Trump Administration Policies, the Border is CLOSED to all Illegal Immigrants. Anyone who tries to illegally enter the U.S.A. will face significant criminal penalties and immediate deportation,” Trump added.
