Impeachment hangs over Trump’s State of the Union address
President Trump delivered his second State of the Union address to a Joint Session of Congress on Feb. 5, 2019. “We’re divided and the impeachment process has solidified that,” said Mack McLarty, who served as President Clinton’s first White House chief of staff. “There are a lot of really great things he should talk about and stay away from maybe what the proceedings are.” In the speech, which staffers have titled “The Great American Comeback,” Trump plans to focus on economic growth, highlighting what a senior administration official previewing the address referred to as a “blue-collar boom,” as well as efforts to aid working families by passing paid medical leave and to push Congress to help lower the cost of prescription drugs. Trump plans to offer a vision of “relentless optimism,” the official said, but noted that “no speech is ever final until it’s delivered” and that, with Trump, “it’s never safe to assume anything.” Trump is almost certain to contrast his accomplishments with what he calls “do-nothing” Democrats obsessed with impeachment. On Monday, Schiff sought to shame GOP lawmakers for condoning Trump’s actions, again invoking the founders in his closing exhortation: “They gave you a remedy and they meant for you to use it,” he said.
