Clarification, seating would need to also be in the Senate gallery, which seats a few hundred
And talk about seating. I’ll bet those Covington students will be there. Heck, if Pelosi bars him, hold the State of the Union Speech in Kentucky. Might be McConnell’s first visit back in years, but bet he’d welcome some face time with his constituents.
My comments were based on the current set-up - didn’t think about them removing the desks. I agree with the Senate being next best choice after the House. I did read that the Senate would have to vote, Mitch can’t have the President give the speech there on his own authority (?).
As I said before, I trust Trump to get it done, one way or the other! Win-win, as long as he actually gives the speech, somewhere, somehow.
