Tentative Date Set for State of the Union by House Speaker Mike Johnson

House Speaker Mike Johnson shared on Wednesday that he anticipates the State of the Union might occur on February 24. However, the date is not fixed and hasn't received an official schedule confirmation yet.

"We're considering alternative timings to see which might be feasible," Johnson mentioned during a press briefing, responding to inquiries from CBS News. "It appears that the week we are in session during mid-to-late February is preferred by the White House," he added.

Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, suggested, "Stay tuned for more updates," while assuring, "it's on the way."

This address will be President Trump's initial State of the Union presentation during his second term. Last year's address in March was regarded more as a joint session rather than a traditional State of the Union.

In their inaugural year, presidents typically present before Congress to lay out their agenda early in their term, followed by formal State of the Union speeches in the years afterward.

Usually, the speaker of the House extends a formal invitation to the president to attend Congress for this address.
