President Trump will deliver remarks to a Joint Session of Congress Tuesday, following a historic first full month in office, which saw border crossings reach a historic low, peace in the Middle East, and a return to common sense, among other things.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, House Speaker Mike Johnson invited the President to address a joint session of Congress on March 4, 2025.
This address will mark President Trump’s first formal speech to both chambers during his second term.
The new U.S. president typically addresses a Joint Session of Congress shortly after taking office, delivering what is informally known as the “State of the Union Address” or an “Address to a Joint Session of Congress.” However, this is not the official State of the Union, which is usually delivered in subsequent years.
Trump Senior Advisor Jason Miller joined Fox’s Charlie Hurt on Sunday, where he laid out what the President’s speech on Tuesday will cover. President Trump is expected to speak about Biden’s ongoing inflation crisis, the wasteful spending being uncovered by the Department of Government Efficiency, Congress’s tax bill, border security, and some other exciting developments in the race to Mars and the AI race.
After President Trump’s smackdown of Ukrainian President Zelensky last week in the Oval Office, we can likely expect to hear more about the President’s plan with regard to Ukraine and Russia and whether or not he plans to cut off Ukraine’s gravy train. As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump is reportedly considering ending all shipments of military aid after Zelensky came to the United States ungrateful for the help and disrespected President Trump.
Miller says the President will be focused on “making sure that we continue to bring peace and stability around the world, but we have to do it with respect and strength.” He added, “Those are the two keys that President Trump’s going to go into.”

Why isn’t Trump’s address called the State of the Union?
The U.S. Constitution mandates the president “shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union.”
Recent presidents starting with Ronald Reagan addressed a joint session of Congress shortly after their inaugurations, according to the American Presidency Project. These messages delivered shortly after a president takes office are technically not State of the Union addresses.
Will there be a rebuttal?
As is also the case with the State of the Union, the opposing party will deliver a rebuttal. Michigan freshman U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin has been selected to give Democrats’ response to the president’s address.
