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.
Trump's 108-minute speech broke his own record for longest presidential address to Congress.
The previous longest was his 100-minute speech last year.
Before 2025, President Bill Clinton had the record with speeches clocking in at 89 minutes in 2000 and 85 minutes in 1995.
The president ended his speech at 10:59 p.m.
The issue of immigration helped carry Trump to victory in 2024 and he took giant steps toward reshaping the system during his first year in office. Yet he scarcely mentioned it during his speech, possibly a reflection of his slipping poll numbers on the issue.
He spoke about the steep drop in arrests for illegal border crossings but did not talk about two key initiatives that will cost nearly $100 billion combined: expanding immigration detention and building the border wall.
He did not talk about major policy changes like attempting to end birthright citizenship, denying bond to people who are in immigration custody or suspending asylum at the border.
Nor did he discuss his mass deportation campaign, weeks after Minnesota's largest cities turned into battlegrounds between immigration officers and protesters and resulted in the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens by authorities.
A 100-year-old veteran was also awarded the Medal of Honor during the State of the Union.
Royce Williams was a Navy fighter pilot who served in the Korean and Vietnam wars. President Trump called him a "legend" and highlighted Williams' dogfight against seven Soviet fighter planes during the Korean War that was a secret for decades.
First lady Melania Trump presented the retired captain with the Medal of Honor. Both sides of the aisle erupted with prolonged cheers and claps for him.
Trump earlier said he had worked out negotiations with unnamed tech companies where they would pay for their own electricity for data centers.
Tech companies so far are not confirming that they've agreed to this pledge.
In a statement to ABC News, Microsoft President Brad Smith called the announcement an "important step."
"The Ratepayer Protection Pledge is an important step. We appreciate the administration's work to ensure that data centers don't contribute to higher electricity prices for consumers," Brad Smith, Microsoft's vice chair and president, said in a statement.
