President Donald Trump declared during Tuesday's marathon State of the Union that "we're winning so much," saying he'd sparked a jobs and manufacturing boom at home while imposing a new world order abroad - hoping that offering a long list of his accomplishments can counter approval ratings that have been falling.
For the president, the high-profile speech was a chance to make the case directly to millions of Americans ahead of November's midterm elections where control of Congress is at stake.
Just over a year into his second term, President Donald Trump is delivering the State of the Union address, making his case for sweeping policy changes and executive actions that have come to define America's current moment.
ABC News is live fact-checking some of the president's statements that may be exaggerated, need more context or are false.
Go here for a look at the full fact check from ABC News.
President Trump left the White House just after 8:30 to make his way to the Capitol, departing hand in hand with first lady Melania Trump. Trump raised his fist as he headed toward his motorcade, and a wave as it pulled away.
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi will attend the State of the Union address, a source familiar with her plans told ABC News.
The source said Pelosi is attending to show solidarity and support for the Jeffrey Epstein survivors in the gallery.
Pelosi, who will be attending her final State of the Union as a Congress member, is wearing a "Stand with Survivors, Release the Files" pin that other Democrats are wearing as well, according to the source.
"The Dream that has inspired generations of Americans and immigrants will remain long after Trump is gone."
California Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla will outline a "better path" forward for the country in his Spanish-language response to the State of the Union address, according to excerpts released ahead of the speech.
"The truth is that the State of our Union does not feel strong for everyone," Padilla plans to say.
Padilla's remarks come after a high-profile confrontation last year in which he was shoved to the ground and briefly handcuffed by federal agents after confronting Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem during a Los Angeles news conference.
"They may have knocked me down for a moment, but I got right back up," Padilla plans to say.
As attendees begin to gather in the U.S. Capitol, here are some more notable guests.
House Speaker Mike Johnson is bringing Hanan Lischinsky, the brother of slain Israeli Embassy staffer Yaron Lischinsky, to attend the speech.
House Republicans have also invited NASA's Artemis II crew: Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen.
House Democrats have invited several Jeffrey Epstein survivors, including Haley Robson, Annie Farmer and Marina Lacerda. Sky and Amanda Roberts, the brother and sister-in-law of the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre, will also be in the House chamber.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has also invited the family of late Rev. Jesse Jackson, who died last week.
