How to Watch President Trump’s Address to Congress
The speech will start at about 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT, and will be carried by major networks like CBS, NBC, PBS, and others. Cable news networks will have analysis of the speech after it concludes. Those without cable can stream local channels and networks like MSNBC and CNN with a free trial to a live streaming service, such as Fubo.
The speech will also be carried live on YouTube and other social media platforms. The address follows a noteworthy week in what’s already been a chaotic return to power — Trump had a contentious meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday and rolled out tariffs that sent the markets into a nosedive. Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s DOGE has gutted federal agencies like the CFPB, USAID, and FAA, even as flight anxiety soars amid a spate of highly publicized crashes.
Trump’s fast-acting maneuvers to dismantle the Federal government have left Democrats scrambling and without clear leadership, and some Democrats are expected to walk out of the President’s speech, according to Axios.
Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan will deliver the official Democratic response to Trump’s speech. Slotkin, a first-term Senator, narrowly won her seat despite Trump’s victory in the state. Cable channels like MSNBC and CNN are expected to carry Senator Slotkin’s response. Those channels are available with a free trial to Fubo or Hulu + Live TV.
