Trump to deliver State of the Union address as voters sour on his economy

Dem Gov. Abigail Spanberger of Virginia will deliver the official rebuttal for Democrats after romping to victory in 2025 on an affordability-focused agenda.

President Donald Trump is set to deliver his prime-time State of the Union address on Tuesday night as polls indicate voters are souring on his economy, after he made promises to lower prices for working-class voters.

Trump will speak at a critical moment. The midterm elections, looming less than nine months away, threaten to rip away the near-complete control of Washington he has enjoyed in his second term. And public polling indicates Trump is sinking on what were once his key issues: the economy and immigration. 

The economy is expected to feature heavily in Trump's address, especially after the Supreme Court last week overturned his authority to issue a wide swath of his tariffs — a key plank of his economic platform.
