State of the Union 2019: What time is the speech tonight?
President Donald Trump will deliver the State of the Union on the heels of the longest government shutdown in United States history.
President Donald Trump will deliver the State of the Union Tuesday night at 9 p.m. Eastern.
Trump has said over the last week that the theme of the address will be unity.
The delayed address comes on the heels of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, and with less than two weeks until current funding will run out on Feb. 15. Lawmakers still haven't reached a deal on border security.
The president is demanding $5.7 billion for a wall along the southern border, but Democrats are refusing to give him the money, saying it would be ineffective and expensive. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called the wall "immoral."
Trump has repeatedly said he may declare a national emergency to obtain money for the wall if a deal can't be reached.
