But I'll not be watching, so if he does, darn it all I'll miss it. But will be watching Rep Joe Kennedy's response.
The Democratic response to Trumps State of the Union will be delivered by a Kennedy
Massachusetts Rep. Joe Kennedy is a rising star in the Democratic Party.
By Ella Nilsen and Andrew Prokop Jan 26, 2018, 5:20pm EST
Democrats have selected Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-MA) to give the official response to President Donald Trumps State of the Union address on Tuesday night.
After Trumps State of the Union concludes, Kennedy will deliver a response on national television, laying out the Democratic Partys vision for America. The State of the Union response has long been considered a way to showcase rising stars in each political party. During President Barack Obamas tenure, Republican responders included Paul Ryan, who is now speaker of the House, and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), who ran for president in 2016.
Kennedy, 37, is a third-term Congress member from Massachusetts who comes from one of Americas oldest political families. Hes a young, progressive politician whose star has risen in the past year as he gave speeches rebuking the GOPs attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act and Trumps rhetoric on white supremacist groups after the deadly protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, this summer.
Kennedy said it was an honor to be chosen to give the response.
