How Democrats Are Planning to Protest Trump’s State of the Union

A number of Democratic lawmakers are planning to protest President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address next week. 

While Trump delivers the highly anticipated annual speech, which will be the first State of the Union address of his second term, some Democrats have pledged to instead attend a counterprogramming event near the Capitol on the National Mall. Several more have spoken out in opposition to the upcoming speech, or plan to attend but demonstrate resistance to the President in other ways.
