THE SHOW MUST GO ON

         

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s “suggestion” to delay aside, the White House is still planning for President Trump to deliver his State of the Union address on January 29th. As we told you before, Pelosi asked Mr. Trump to postpone the big speech until after the partial government shutdown is over.

She cited security concerns, related to the shutdown, but has not officially rescinded her invitation to Trump to address Congress. Of course, it’s possible that Trump could deliver the address from another venue, including the Oval Office or the Senate. Republicans control the Senate, but the Senate chamber is considerably smaller than the House chamber.

No matter the locale, the White House is still preparing for the annual event. A small army of White House speechwriters and aides typically spend weeks preparing notes and drafts for the address. So one way or another, President Trump will give his address January 29th.
