House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has invited President Trump to deliver his State of the Union address to Congress on February 24th. “As our nation marks the Semiquincentennial Anniversary of American Independence, the United States stands stronger, freer, and more prosperous under your leadership and bold action. Together in 2025, your administration and the 119th Congress delivered one of the most consequential agendas in history, and Americans across this great country will experience the tangible results of commonsense governance,” a letter to Trump read. “We look forward to advancing the important work ahead of us in 2026, serving the American people, defending liberty, and preserving this grand experiment in self-governance. To that end, it is my distinct honor and great privilege to invite you to address a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, in the Chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives,” it continued. “It is my distinct honor and great privilege to invite President Trump to deliver the State of the Union on February 24, 2026,” Johnson wrote on X. “Since his return to office, @POTUS has not stopped working for the American people and delivering on his promises.

Trump has addressed Congress once before in his second term, delivering a speech to a joint session in March. Watch President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress in March 2025:
