Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said she will not attend President Trump’s address to the joint session of Congress Tuesday night.
She said she will be posting live about the speech on social media instead.
“I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead,” the New York Democrat said in a post on the social platform Bluesky.
“Then going on IG Live after,” she added, using a popular shorthand for the social media platform Instagram.
Trump will head to the Capitol for the first joint address of his second term on Tuesday night.
The president is expected to tout his sweeping efforts to reshape the government, crack down on immigration and reorient U.S. foreign policy on the heels of an Oval Office spat with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
