Today, US House Speaker Mike Johnson invited the President to deliver the first State of the Union address of his new term on 4 March 2025, before a Joint Session of the House & Senate.
The President speaks on the House rostrum, (usually) in front of the Vice President (as President of the Senate) and the Speaker of the House.
Most Members of Congress attend, as do most Supreme Court Justices, members of the President's Cabinet, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The First Lady also attends, along with guests invited by the President, the First Lady, the Vice President, and members of Congress.
The Constitution requires the President to send an annual message to the Congress on the state of the union, and every address since 1981 has been a spoken address.
This will be the latest date for a State of the Union address by this particular President, but earlier than last year's, which was 7 March 2024.
