On March #TrumpCongressSpeech 4, 2025, at 21:19 Eastern Time, Donald Trump delivered a speech before a joint session of Congress. This was his fifth public address in such a format, reminiscent of a State of the Union address.

After the speech, the Democratic response was delivered by Senator Elissa Slotkin from Michigan. Additionally, Representative Adriano Espaillat from New York provided a response in Spanish, and Latefa Simon from California voiced the position of the Working Families Party.
