President Donald Trump gave his second State of the Union address on the evening of Feb. 5 to Congress and the nation.

Trump’s 82-minute speech centered on imploring listeners to “choose greatness” for America over partisanship. He notably took a strong stance against socialism, saying “we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country”—a statement that was met with applause from Republicans, and some Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).
