Well,

OK, let's take a quick break and we will have more in a moment.

And we're back.

Let's talk a little bit about the Democrats here.

You know, there's always a response from the opposition party after these State of the Union addresses.

Tonight's came from Abigail Spanberger, the first woman elected governor of Virginia.

And she talked a lot about affordability.

There was no denying Mara what her message was.

Did we hear a preview of the midterms of the messaging of the year ahead?

Sam Greenglass, Democrats were certainly a subject of President Trump's speech.

I think he was expecting them to shout in the room, which they obliged on.

And he really went after them directly and repeatedly, including when they didn't stand up to cheer or when they protested.

Here's this.

We should say that that line, the crazy line, was in the prepared version of his remarks.

But Sam, how is it received in the room?

And as we wind down our coverage, Mara, I'm wondering what you're watching for next or sort of what closing thoughts you might have.

Yeah, I did notice that Abigail Spanberger in her response just kept coming back to President Trump.

She wasn't talking about Republicans in Congress, even though they're the ones who are going to be on the ballot.

All right, that does it for us tonight.

We will be back in your feeds later today at this point at our usual time.
