- Ahead of President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy warned members during a closed-door meeting to behave themselves, reminding them that the “mics are hot” and the “cameras are on,” according to a source in the room.
- House GOP conference chair Elise Stefanik issued a similar warning.
- McCarthy also told members to be cognizant that photographers can see their phones so be aware of what they are looking at on their screens — and be aware that boom mics can pick up their conversations, per source in room.
