The State of the Union

The president's Tuesday night address might also include a 'warm and fuzzy' gesture to his recent nemesis, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, according to a White House aide.

President Donald Trump is telling conservative allies he wants to incorporate firm anti-abortion language into his State of the Union address Tuesday, and potentially include an anti-abortion figure among his list of invitees, according to four sources familiar with his plans

Trump sees an opening to energize his evangelical supporters and capture moderate voters who administration officials believe may be turned off by widespread coverage of New York’s newest abortion law, which allows for termination of some pregnancies after the 24-week mark for health reasons.

The issue is one of many the president will address in a Tuesday night speech, which aides say currently clocks in at about one hour.

In other words, it's not a State of the Union address, it's a campaign speech.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
