Sen. Elissa Slotkin delivered the Democratic response to Trump's address.
President Donald Trump addressed a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night, six weeks into his historic return to the White House.
During the speech, Trump said "America is back" and defended the tariffs on key U.S. trading partners. He touched on immigration and the mineral deal with Ukraine, but neglected to go into detail on his economic plan. The speech was also met with protests and disruptions from Democrats.
New Mexico Democratic Rep. Madeleine Stansbury, who was sitting on the aisle, held up a sign that said, "THIS IS NOT NORMAL." GOP Rep. Lance Gooden of Texas then appeared to rip it out of her hands and threw it on the floor of the chamber.
Speaker Mike Johnson is standing up, slamming his gavel and trying to restore order and "decorum."
As he did, he had the sergeant at arms remove Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas.
Democrats were heard booing and jeering as Trump listed his accomplishments and the election, however, Republicans pushed back with chants of "USA."
Trump claimed they "accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplished in four years or eight years and we are just getting started." To date, he's signed 76 executive orders -- though several are being challenged in the courts.
