How Many People Watched the State of the Union Last Night? What We Know

President Trump's 1 hour and 47-minute State of the Union address included claims on election integrity, immigration, attacks on Somali heritage, and staged guest appearances.

  • President Donald Trump delivered a 1 hour 47 minute State of the Union in the House of Representatives chamber, blending a conventional speech with staged stunts and medal presentations.
  • On policy, Trump told lawmakers tariffs would produce hundreds of millions and urged approval of the Save America Act to stop illegal voting, claiming Democrats oppose voter ID to cheat.
  • A recent review found 15 individuals who appear to be noncitizens voted among more than 5.7 million ballots in Michigan, with 13 referrals to the attorney general, and no evidence supports Trump’s $19 billion fraud claim.
  • The address faced repeated interruptions, and protesters and Rep. Al Green, Democratic member of Congress, were escorted out as Trump berated Democrats for not standing, with visible bruising on his hand.
  • He reiterated grievances that he was denied an illegal third term despite losing to Joe Biden, President who won the 2020 election, while his mix of theatrics and tariff policy risks inflaming immigration and voting‑policy debates.
