Trump promised he would deliver a long State of the Union speech, and he delivered.

His speech Tuesday ran approximately one hour and 48 minutes.

It's the longest address before a joint session of Congress in at least 60 years.

That's according to the American Presidency Project, which has tracked speech length since 1964.

The runtime included significant pauses for applause and several disruptions.

It was about nine minutes longer than Trump's own record-breaking speech from last year.

That address was not technically a State of the Union, and it ran for an hour and 39 minutes.

Former President Bill Clinton previously held the record for longest State of the Union, with his 2000 speech lasting an hour and 28 minutes.

The shortest speech in the past 60 years was former President Richard Nixon's 1972 address.
