Johnson invites Trump to address Congress in March

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has invited President Trump to give his first address to Congress on March 4. 

“Your administration and the 119th Congress working together have the chance to make these next four years some of the most consequential in our nation’s history,” Johnson wrote in a Saturday letter to the president. 

“To that end, it is my distinct honor and great privilege to invite you to address a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, in the Chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives, to share your America First vision for our legislative future. I eagerly await your response.”

President Biden was invited to give the State of the Union address around the same time last year. 

Johnson's invitation to Trump follows a White House meeting with both Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) during Trump's first week in office.

The White House has not yet confirmed Trump's attendance at the March 4 joint session, however, the president is expected to accept.

“America’s Golden Age has begun,” Johnson wrote of Trump’s new term in office.

Republicans have maintained a spirit of unison as their trifecta materializes in a new legislative session and presidential administration. 

“Thanks to your strong leadership and bold action in the first days of your presidency, the United States is already experiencing a resurgence of patriotism, unity, and hope for the future.”
