WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The No. 2 Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives said on Wednesday that President Donald Trump's planned annual address to Congress is off, citing the partial government shutdown.
"The State of the Union is off," U.S. Representative Steny Hoyer said in an interview with CNN. Hoyer said that as Speaker of the House, U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi is the one who invites the president and she has said, "as long as government is shut down we are not going to be doing business as usual."
