After President Donald Trump's first State of the Union address, multiple responses — both official and otherwise — are to be delivered. Here's what we know and how you can follow along.
Rep. Joe Kennedy's Official Democratic Response, Annotated
Massachusetts Rep. Joe Kennedy III, seen as a rising political star with a famous last name, will deliver the Democratic response to President Trump's State of the Union.
In announcing their decision, Democratic leaders in Congress called Kennedy a "relentless fighter for working Americans."
Kennedy is the grandson of the late Robert Kennedy, the former U.S. attorney general and New York senator who was assassinated in 1968. He is also the great nephew of both the late Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy and the late President John F. Kennedy.
Journalists across the NPR newsroom will be annotating those remarks, adding fact-checks and analysis in real time.
