Quick Scoop

  • President Donald Trump delivered the 2026 State of the Union on Tuesday, February 24, 2026.
  • It took place in the U.S. House chamber before a joint session of Congress, as usual for SOTU addresses.
  • This was Trump’s first formal State of the Union of his second term (his 2025 speech to Congress was not officially counted as a SOTU).

If you’re asking in a “right now” sense: since today is February 25, 2026, this year’s SOTU was last night.
