This evening, grab your popcorn and adjust your TV sets, folks—President Donald Trump is about to deliver his first State of the Union address since reclaiming the Oval Office. At 9 p.m., both chambers of Congress will gather, eagerly or begrudgingly, to hear what the President has to say. This speech is like the Super Bowl of politics, only with less football and more political theater. It’s an event mandated by the Constitution, which means even the Democrats who’d rather be anywhere else are going to have to tune in—or at least pretend to.

But will they? A growing chorus of Democrats has declared they’re taking a rain check on Trump’s big night. Instead, they’re off to attend what they’re calling the “People’s State of the Union.” It’s like the Oscars, but instead of movie stars, it’s just a bunch of Democrats talking about how much they dislike Trump. Leading the charge is none other than Sen. Adam Schiff, old Hollywood himself, along with a slew of other Democrats who apparently have no sense of decorum or tradition in them. Now, normally, skipping out on the President’s big address would be as scandalous as sipping tea in Boston Harbor, but in today’s political climate, it’s all just part of the show.

Meanwhile, President Trump’s expected to hit all the high notes. He’s likely to trumpet his economic achievements, which may involve some chest-thumping over the Dow Jones hitting a jaw-dropping 50,000 points. And with the economy booming, who can blame him? But it’s not all Wall Street and fiscal fireworks—immigration is on the docket too. Illegal immigration is reportedly at near-zero levels at the southern border. So much for the Democrats’ open-border dreams. And let’s not forget his pitch for the SAVE America Act, a bill that demands proof of citizenship to vote. Now that’s one legislative move that’ll surely have Nancy Pelosi reaching for her antacids.

In attendance will be all the usual suspects, minus the Democrats who’ve jumped ship. Vice President JD Vance, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and Senate President Pro Tempore Chuck Grassley will be there, along with most of Trump’s Cabinet. And just in case things go full action movie, a “designated survivor” from the Cabinet will be tucked away in a secure location, probably watching Die Hard on repeat.

Among the guests of honor are the U.S. Men’s and Women’s Olympic Hockey teams, fresh off their gold medal victories over Canada. It’s a nice touch—nothing like a little sports diplomacy to remind us we’ve still got some friendly neighbors. Meanwhile, Democrats have invited Jeffrey Epstein survivors, making their point in a chillingly poignant way.

Once Trump wraps up, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger will step into the spotlight to deliver the Democrats’ response. Spanberger’s got a new gig as Virginia’s first female governor, and she’s ready to bring the heat. After Trump’s address, she’ll be streaming her rebuttal on platforms like C-SPAN, hoping to capture the attention of anyone who isn’t already glued to Trump’s every word.

So what’s the takeaway for Trump’s base? Well, buckle up, because tomorrow night will be a political rollercoaster of epic proportions. Trump’s got the mic, and he’s ready to let loose with a blend of victory laps and legislative blueprints. Meanwhile, the Democrats are trying to put on a show of their own, but with Trump’s track record, he’s not likely to be upstaged anytime soon. Get ready for some fireworks, America—this is one State of the Union you won’t want to miss.
