She&#8217;s set to deliver the speech from Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia, which she said &#8220;has served as a testament to the power of ordinary citizens to shape the future of our nation, demand better from our government, and pursue a more perfect union for all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I look forward to joining Virginians in this historic place to lay out the next chapter of our story\u00a0<em>\u2014<\/em>\u00a0a clear vision for a stronger, safer, and more affordable future for every American who calls our nation home,&#8221; Spanberger said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Spanberger&#8217;s address is expected to focus on affordability, along with criticism of &#8220;the chaos&#8221; that Democrats say the Trump administration has unleashed across the U.S. Party leaders announced last week that she would deliver the Democratic rebuttal to Mr. Trump&#8217;s address, while highlighting her record of public service and commitment to lowering costs for Americans.<\/p>\n<p>House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said in a statement announcing the address that Spanberger &#8220;stands in stark contrast to Donald Trump, who will lie, deflect and blame everyone but himself for his failed presidency on Tuesday evening.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jeffries, a New York Democrat, said as the nation looks toward the 250th anniversary this summer, Spanberger &#8220;embodies the best of America as a mother, community leader and dedicated public servant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rising stars within the opposing party have often been tapped to deliver the rebuttal to the State of the Union address in recent years. Last year, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, a Michigan Democrat, delivered the response to Mr. Trump&#8217;s address to a joint session of Congress, while GOP Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama delivered the Republican response in the final year of President Joe Biden&#8217;s presidency.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/02\/24\/7566723f-34d9-4b3f-9d5d-a88dc2b05509\/thumbnail\/620x413\/30067aed1351157da95e01436016805c\/gettyimages-2244499310.jpg#\" alt=\"Abigail Spanberger speaks during a campaign rally on Nov, 1, 2025 in Norfolk, Virginia. \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/02\/24\/7566723f-34d9-4b3f-9d5d-a88dc2b05509\/thumbnail\/620x413\/30067aed1351157da95e01436016805c\/gettyimages-2244499310.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/02\/24\/7566723f-34d9-4b3f-9d5d-a88dc2b05509\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/aa88132c4c80a059cbcf21ea807cc1e1\/gettyimages-2244499310.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Abigail Spanberger speaks during a campaign rally on Nov, 1, 2025 in Norfolk, Virginia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Win McNamee \/ Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/state-of-the-union-2026-trump-royce-williams-medal-of-honor\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Mr. Trump<\/a><\/span> is giving his first State of the Union address since returning to the White House on Tuesday night, where he&#8217;s expected to highlight and celebrate 250 years of the United States of America, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said ahead of the speech.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re going to hear the president share the stories of everyday Americans who have benefited from his policies, you&#8217;re going to hear the president share tear-jerking stories of American heroes past and present,&#8221; Leavitt said. &#8220;He&#8217;ll obviously tout the administration&#8217;s accomplishments over the past year and he will, of course, lay out a very ambitious agenda, I think, for the working people of this country to make America more affordable and prosperous and safe and make the American dream more attainable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Leavitt said a large portion of the speech will focus on the economy, the issue that continues to be a top concern for Americans.
