My guess is they will try to maintain, but I’m not sure that is possible. Trump will come out firing against the left, which will kick in TDS for those who did not take their medicine. Someone will make a scene.
If Trump brings in the Olympic Hockey Champs as guests, I don’t expect the Democrats to sit silently but stand to applaud our team. But I have been wrong before.
This should be a positive speech highlighting all his accomplishments, with a focus on affordability, deporting criminals, trade deals, peace deals, eliminating the green scam, becoming a world leader in oil exports, and much more. It’s a lot of accomplishments in a short time, but with some conflicts with the left along the way. This speech should be worthwhile to watch. All IMO.
“Democrat lawmakers are planning to challenge President Trump’s State of the Union (SOTU) address on Tuesday but want to avoid making a scene as they did in 2025 during his joint address to Congress.
Democrats drew much criticism for their behavior while he spoke in 2025, the Hill reported Monday. At the time, many of them “held signs accusing Trump of lying, others walked out mid-speech, and Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) made waves by standing and heckling the president with a cane pointed at the dais — an extraordinary scene that led to Green’s ejection from the room.”
Trump criticized Democrats and the liberal media for their antics, stating he thought it was “very embarrassing for the Democrats,” per Breitbart News.
Now, Democrat leaders hope to avoid drawing that kind of negative attention during the SOTU.
“While House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is urging the members of his caucus to challenge the president during Tuesday’s address, he’s also warning them to do so discreetly,” the Hill report stated, adding some Democrats have said they will attend alternate events such as the “People’s State of the Union” event on the National Mall, and the “State of the Swamp” event at the National Press Club.”
