Casten Will Not Attend 2026 State of the Union

Washington, D.C. — U.S. Congressman Sean Casten (IL-06) announced that he will not attend the 2026 State of the Union and released the following statement:

“My respect for the office of the President of the United States cannot abide the disrespect that Donald Trump shows to that office every day. As such, while I will watch the State of the Union elsewhere, I will not attend in person, as I am not interested in being used as a prop for his theatrics.”
