“To that end, it is my distinct honor and great privilege to invite you to address a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, in the Chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives, to share your America First vision for our legislative future,” Johnson continued. “I eagerly await your response.”
According to reporting by Politico, while this congressional address would be significant, it would not technically qualify as a State of the Union speech. The news outlet noted that this practice follows a precedent established during Ronald Reagan’s presidency, where newly inaugurated presidents have delivered similar addresses shortly after taking office.
