Watch live: President Trump to address joint session of Congress
WDET will preempt its regular programming to carry NPR’s special coverage and analysis of the joint address.
The U.S. Capitol Building in Washington on Thursday, June 1, 2023.
President Trump will give a speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, his first address before Congress since returning to office.
The speech comes as the Trump administration is making swift and dramatic cuts to the federal government, while the Republican-led House and Senate have done little to curb them.
According to the White House, Trump is expected to lay out his achievements since returning to office, and appeal to Congress to provide more money to finance his aggressive crackdown on immigration.
“It’s an opportunity for President Trump, as only he can, to lay out the last month of record-setting, record-breaking, unprecedented achievements and accomplishments,” senior adviser Stephen Miller told the Associated Press.
WDET will carry NPR’s special coverage and analysis of the president’s joint address, as well as the Democratic response from Michigan U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin, beginning at 9 p.m. ET at 101.9 FM and at wdet.org.
