Trump accepts invitation from Pelosi to deliver State of the Union on Feb. 5
By Felicia Sonmez January 28 at 7:03 PM
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday invited President Trump to give his State of the Union address on Feb. 5, putting the president on track to deliver his prime-time speech to a nation still reeling from the longest federal shutdown in history and facing the prospect of a second one next month.
Trump sent a letter to Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Monday evening saying it was his “great honor” to accept her invitation to deliver the address on Feb. 5.
“We have a great story to tell and yet, great goals to achieve!” he said in the letter, which was released by the White House.
Pelosi, who stood firm and got Trump to concede to reopen the government last week without funding for his long-promised U.S.-Mexico border wall, will be seated behind the president as he delivers his speech.
