So many SOTU streaming options.
Amid his ongoing impeachment trial and the Iowa caucus results debacle, President Donald Trump will deliver the final State of the Union address of his first term on Tuesday night before a joint session of Congress. You don't need cable to watch the speech because streaming options abound, including the CBS News stream embedded above. Here's what you need to know to stream Trump's State of the Union address tonight.
How to watch the SOTU without cable
Trump's annual address is set to begin tonight, Feb. 4 at 9 p.m. ET (6 p.m. PT). Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Texas Congresswoman Veronica Escobar will give the Democratic rebuttals to Trump's State of the Union address. Escobar will give the Spanish-language rebuttal after Whitmer's speech.
The State of the Union will be also streamed live for free by virtually every major news organization on YouTube, in both English and Spanish. Again, CBS News' YouTube stream is embedded above.
You can also watch the State of the Union address and rebuttals live on the CBS News website or CBS News app for free without authentication, which means you won't have to sign in at all, just start streaming. (Disclosure: ViacomCBS is the parent company of CNET.)
