Buckle up, everyone!

This might be the longest SOTU in the history of our nation…

President Trump already holds the record for the longest address to Congress.

Per Axios:

President Trump holds the crown for longest address to Congress on record at 100 minutes in 2025 — and he warned that he might be be primed break that record during his State of the Union Tuesday.

The big picture: The annual speech has stretched to ever longer lengths in recent years, not just because of the address but frequent interruptions — applause, heckling — from spectators.

Driving the news: Trump said Monday that his speech will focus on the economy as Americans name affordability as a top concern.

“We have a country that’s now doing well with the greatest economy we’ve ever had, most activity we’ve ever had,” Trump said Monday.

“I’m making a speech tomorrow night, and you’ll be hearing me say that. It’s going to be a long speech because we have so much to talk about,” he said.

By the numbers: Trump spoke an estimated 9,906 words during his record-breaking 2025 address to Congress, beating out former President Biden’s 2023 record by about 700 words.

The previous record holder was President Clinton’s 2000 speech, in which he spoke over 89 minutes.
