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.

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.
