Becca Balint (VT-AL) announces she will not attend President Trump\u2019s joint address. She will instead join programming that will provide real time fact-checking, a Democratic pre-buttal and live reactions. She will join Senators Murphy, Schatz, Markey and Alsobrooks along with other elected leaders, political commentators, and Move On, an organization focused on mobilizing for political progress.\n\n\u201cI watched as the President swore an oath to uphold and protect the constitution. I won\u2019t sit and watch him lie to the American people again,\u201d said Rep. Becca Balint. \u201cI attended the inauguration because I believe in the peaceful transfer of power, but Trump spewed lies, stoked division and fear and made no effort to unify our country. There is no doubt tonight\u2019s presidential address will be more of the same. My conversation tonight will be the best way I can use my voice for Vermonters. They are sick of the lies and Trump\u2019s complete and utter disregard for our constitution.\u201d\n\nThe virtual conversation begins at 8:15pm and will include a pre-buttal to Trump's address, followed by a live chat feed during his speech at 9pm to fact-check and discuss in real-time.\n\nThe event can be live streamed from Rep. Becca Balint\u2019s Youtube channel.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T00:15:27Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://balint.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=450"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8203811012208462, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
