State of the Union will not take place Tuesday, Pelosi aide says
The aide confirmed that the address, which was originally scheduled for Tuesday, will not happen -- answering a key question about the address's fate in the wake of the reopening of the federal government.
Trump's director of strategic communications Mercedes Schlapp said Monday that the White House has been in discussions with Pelosi's office about rescheduling the address and that "we should have a response soon."
In order to give an address like the State of the Union to a joint session of Congress, both the House and Senate must pass a resolution allowing it to happen, making Pelosi's voice an important part of the discussions.
