President Donald Trump called attention to the economy, paid family leave, health care, job training and second-chance hiring in his annual State of the Union (SOTU) address on Feb. 4.
It was the last SOTU address of the current presidential term, and though the 2020 election draws near and the Democratic primaries are under way, Trump did not mention the election in his speech. Instead, the president focused on the “incredible results” he said his administration has achieved, such as securing the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement and low unemployment figures. “Jobs are booming, incomes are soaring, poverty is plummeting, crime is falling, confidence is surging, and our country is thriving and highly respected again,” he said.
