President Trump's Address to Congress

President Trump delivered an address to a joint session of Congress that drew mixed reactions from Republicans and Democrats. He outlined key actions taken during his first six weeks in office, including ending foreign aid, banning trans athletes from school sports, and enacting cuts to the federal government. Partisan divisions were evident, with Republican lawmakers applauding and Democrats protesting. Some lawmakers, like Rep. Al Green, were removed for heckling. Democratic members wore pink to protest Trump's policies affecting women and families. Republicans were supportive of Trump's speech, which focused on immigration and crime. Trump also recognized guests, including the family of a victim of a man in the country illegally and a 13-year-old cancer survivor who became an honorary law enforcement officer.

Confidence in U.S. Economic Leaders

Americans are less confident in President Joe Biden's ability to manage the U.S. economy compared to previous presidents, with confidence in Biden, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, and congressional leaders below 50%. Partisan divisions play a significant role in confidence levels, with Democrats trusting Biden and Powell, while Republicans trust Trump. Independents have the most confidence in Trump. Overall, confidence in key economic leaders is low, and Americans lack trust in those managing the economy.
