[WAVE] Sen. Adam Schiff will skip President Trump’s State of the Union for the first time, arguing that Trump violates the law and the Constitution and that this is not normal business as usual. He says he won’t give the president the audience he seeks and will instead join a separate left-leaning event organized by MeidasTouch and MoveOn. The move highlights a broader partisan dynamic around the address, with multiple colleagues planning to attend alternative demonstrations. The episode underscores ongoing tensions over executive action and accountability, with Schiff framing the decision as a principled departure rather than a protest aimed at tradition. Looking ahead, the split attendance signals how political theater around the SOTU remains deeply contested.
