WASHINGTON, D.C. – Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has urged Democrats to adopt a strategy of quiet defiance during President Donald Trump’s upcoming address to Congress on Tuesday. In an interview with the Washington Post, Pelosi advised against overt displays of disagreement, suggesting Democrats “let him stew in his own juice.”

Pelosi’s counsel comes in contrast to her own dramatic actions during Trump’s 2020 State of the Union address, where she famously tore up a copy of his speech. She defended her actions, stating she did so because “every page was a lie.” This time, however, Pelosi believes a more measured approach is necessary, suggesting that only Democrats in safe districts should publicly challenge Trump’s policies.

Pelosi emphasized the importance of prioritizing the upcoming 2026 midterm elections, urging Democrats to focus on regaining seats rather than engaging in a protracted battle with the Trump administration. She also cautioned against a cacophony of responses, recommending a more strategic and unified approach.

President Trump, in a Truth Social post, touted his upcoming address, promising a “big” speech where he will “tell it like it is.” His speech, while similar in format to a State of the Union address, will not carry the same official title due to the gap in his presidency. The address is expected to focus on his “Make America Great Again” policies and his administration’s priorities. Fox News will provide live coverage of the event.
