CBS News fact checked President Trump's 2026 State of the Union address, and Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger's Democratic response.

The tension stems from Trump’s repeated victory laps over “Operation Midnight Hammer,” a covert U.S. strike on three Iranian nuclear sites that he has claimed “obliterated” the country’s nuclear program. The president has touted the operation as a decisive blow, framing it as both a military and strategic triumph.

Trump delivers longest State of the Union in history, sparking debate as Republicans praise "historic leader" while Democrats call speech "humiliating."

President Trump has used his State of the Union address to sell a booming America, even as voters worry about the economy.

A new bill from Sen. Elizabeth Warren targets investors who own 50-plus single-family homes, and breaks with a White House proposal.

In the face of headwinds, the president defended many of his unpopular policies.

President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address focused on the economy, tax cuts, border security, DHS funding, Iran nuclear negotiations, tariffs and clashes with Democrats during a record-breaking speech before Congress.
