You might remember that earlier this year the State of the Union address was nearly canceled because of a contentious fight between President Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over the federal government shutdown.
Earlier this week Pelosi invited Trump to deliver the State of the Union before a joint session of Congress next year.
Trump accepted.
The invitation came just days after the House voted to impeach Trump.
Pelosi wrote a letter to Trump inviting him to deliver his annual speech in February.
Pelosi notes in the letter that she made the invitation “in the spirit of respecting our Constitution.”
The speech would take place on Tuesday, February 4, 2020 which is one day after the Iowa caucuses, the first step in Democratic voters picking a nominee to challenge Trump for the presidency.
