President Trump Prepared to Deliver a “Bold Agenda” to Congress
President Donald Trump is set to deliver his highly-anticipated first address to Congress tonight that the White House says will detail an “optimistic vision” for the nation. You can tune into our live coverage starting at 9 p.m. Eastern.
FOX’s Jon Decker has more from the White House:
The White House in a preview said the President will present what it calls a “bold agenda” on tax and regulatory overhauls, reforms in the workplace and a promise to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
More than 60 House Democrats boycotted the President’s Inauguration. But White House spokesman Sean Spicer is optimistic about what to expect from Democrats for tonight’s speech:
(Spicer) “I hope a very robust and applause-filled reception. The speech as I mentioned, breaks down a lot of barriers that have traditionally been, political barriers where I think we should find agreement.”
Immediately after the address former Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear will deliver the Democratic response.
