President Donald Trump will deliver his first joint congressional address of his second term on Tuesday (March 4) at 9 p.m. ET. This speech, while not officially a State of the Union address, provides an opportunity for President Trump to outline his priorities and legislative agenda for the upcoming year.

House Speaker Mike Johnson invited President Trump to share his "America First" vision with Congress, emphasizing the potential for significant accomplishments in the coming years. The address will take place in the U.S. House chamber, accommodating members of both the House and Senate, as well as other officials, including members of the U.S. Supreme Court and the president's Cabinet.

President Trump is expected to highlight his administration's achievements during the first six weeks of his presidency and outline future plans. Key issues likely to be addressed include securing the southern border and making permanent the tax cuts enacted during his first presidency. The speech also comes just ten days before a deadline to fund the government. Trump is expected to use the speech to urge Congress to pass another stopgap funding measure to ensure the government continues to operate while the House and Senate work to pass a budget that delivers on Trump's promises.

However, the White House has not provided specific details about the speech's content, leaving open questions about whether Trump will focus more on executive actions or legislative proposals.

Following the address, Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin will deliver the Democratic response, focusing on economic issues and presenting the party's stance for working-class Americans. Additionally, Representative Adriano Espaillat of New York will provide a Spanish-language response.

You can listen to the speech live on iHeartRadio's 24/7 News station.
