  • Several Democrats have said they do not plan to attend President Donald Trump's joint address to Congress on Tuesday.

The article from ABC News discusses how several Democrats, including prominent figures like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, have decided to boycott President Trump's joint address to Congress. This decision comes in response to Trump's policies and actions, particularly his handling of the January 6 Capitol riot, his refusal to concede the election, and his ongoing false claims about election fraud. The boycott is seen as a protest against what these Democrats perceive as Trump's undermining of democratic norms and institutions. Additionally, the article mentions that while some Democrats will not attend, others like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer are expected to be present, highlighting a division in approach among party members on how to respond to Trump's address.
