House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has extended an invitation to President Donald Trump to deliver a customary post-inauguration speech to lawmakers on Capitol Hill during a joint session of Congress that, while not officially a State of the Union address, is expected to have similar pomp and significance.

Johnson’s invitation was issued in the form of a letter to the White House dated Jan. 25, asking Trump to share his “America First vision for our legislative future” at a Joint Session of Congress on March 4.
