What can we expect from Trump’s State of the Union address?
Here is what can we expect from President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address.
Oregonians will be able to watch as President Donald Trump delivers his first State of the Union address of his second term on Feb. 24.
Trump’s speech will take place in front of a joint session of Congress, where he will discuss his upcoming plans for immigration, tariffs, federal regulations and more.
At least 12 prominent lawmakers plan to boycott Trump by skipping the State of the Union address and are instead holding a rally at the National Mall, which they’re calling the “People’s State of the Union,” USA TODAY reported.
Among those not attending the speech are U.S. Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, both Oregon Democrats, who instead will co-host a live on-line town hall on Feb. 24.
Here’s what to know about the upcoming State of the Union speech and how to watch it in Oregon.
How can Oregonians watch Trump’s State of the Union address?
Trump is scheduled to deliver his State of the Union address on Feb. 24 starting at 6 p.m. PT.
Oregonians can live-stream the address on USA TODAY’s YouTube Channel and website. Event coverage is expected to run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. PT.
The State of the Union will also be broadcast on all major television networks, including ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox News, PBS and NPR.
What is the State of the Union?
The State of the Union is when the president gives a national update on how the country is progressing, where the United States currently stands and what Congress should focus on next.
The U.S. Constitution requires the president to deliver this address to keep lawmakers informed about the state of the nation and outline upcoming legislative priorities.
The speech has traditionally been delivered sometime between early January and early February.

PORTLAND, Ore. — The Oregon DMV issued a warning for drivers, saying scammers are still sending out fake text messages trying to steal money from people.
State DMV officials say it is part of a nationwide scam that’s been happening for nearly two years.
The fake text messages often come from international phone numbers or non-government email addresses.
In the messages, the scammers threaten to suspend car registration or driving privileges if a person doesn’t pay.
If you get this message, the DMV asks that you don’t click on any links or respond. Simply report it to the Federal Trade Commission or delete it.

“They don’t get them running that often, but when they do, it’s nice. The price for admission is fine because we know it’s going towards putting money into the trains again, which I’ll always love doing that. So it just keeps them going longer and just so everyone else can enjoy them,” said Kyle Gentile, visiting from Canby.
