State of the Union will not take place Tuesday, Pelosi aide says
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's second State of the Union address will not take place on Tuesday, an aide to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told CNN.
The aide confirmed that the address, which was originally scheduled for Tuesday, will not happen -- answering a key question about the address's fate in the wake of the reopening of the federal government.
At a news conference Friday following Trump's announcement that there was a deal to end the partial government shutdown, Pelosi said, "The State of the Union is not planned now." The California Democrat added that discussions about the date of the address would take place after the shutdown -- the longest in US history -- officially ended.
Trump's director of strategic communications Mercedes Schlapp said Monday that the White House has been in discussions with Pelosi's office about rescheduling the address and that "we should have a response soon."
