Trump to press border wall fight in State of the Union speech

• Donald Trump’s State of the Union address to Congress later today promises to be the most dramatic in years, with the president hinting that he may declare a national emergency to secure funding for a border wall.

 

• Democrats have selected recent Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams to deliver the party’s response.

 

• While the wall and shutdown issues are likely to dominate proceedings, Trump may also make proposals on drug prices and announce details for upcoming summits with Chinese and North Korean leaders.
