Democratic leadership chose a first -term senator elected in a battleground state Trump won in November to deliver the party’s official response.

A Democratic senator whose name is often talked about for 2028 is among those skipping the address, predicting it will be a “MAGA pep rally.” A protest movement organizing online has identified March 4th the day of the speech as its next day of action..

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg will appear on a live edition of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert following Trump ’s speech.

Several Democratic governors, including Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer , delivered their own “State of the State ” addresses in the weeks leading up to the speech.

One protest movement is hoping to provide voters with an outlet to channel their frustration.
