Description
President Donald Trump wrapped up his nearly 100 minute joint address to Congress declaring, "the golden age of America has only just begun."
Republican lawmakers rose to their feet and cheered the conclusion of Trump’s address, pumping their hands in the air while chanting “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
Democrats quickly streamed from the chamber while GOP lawmakers tallied to shake hands with the president.
Trump set the record for the longest address to a joint session of Congress with his Tuesday night speech. And it wasn’t even close.
He talked for more than an hour and 40 minutes, breaking the previous record set by President Bill Clinton’s 2000 State of the Union address, which ran 1 hour, 28 minutes and 49 seconds.
That’s according to the American Presidency Project at the University of California at Santa Barbara, which has tracked speech length since President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.
Trump’s speech is not technically a State of the Union since he only took office about six weeks ago. But his lengthy address is nonetheless the longest offered to a joint session of Congress.
