President Trump is delivering the final State of the Union address of his first term Tuesday, as the Senate is expected to acquit him of the two articles of impeachment passed by the House in December.
Any mention of Mr. Trump’s impeachment during the speech “is not currently planned,” a senior White House adviser involved in planning the address told CBS News.
The president will be addressing a nation that largely feels positive about the state of the economy and his handling of it, according to a recent CBS News poll, although more Americans feel he has divided the country than united it.
The Senate, which was in session Tuesday to allow senators to express their views on the impeachment trial, adjourned early Tuesday for the joint address to Congress. It is not expected to hold the final vote on Mr. Trump’s acquittal until Wednesday.
