Fox News host says address showcased economic gains, border security and national pride while blasting Democrats’ reaction.
Fox News primetime host Sean Hannity praised President Donald Trump following his State of the Union address, calling the speech iconic, uplifting, and centered on national resurgence.
Speaking after the address on Fox News, Hannity said the president delivered a confident account of economic progress, emphasizing claims of declining inflation, record stock market performance, and easing mortgage rates. He highlighted Trump’s assertion that the United States is experiencing the strongest border security in its history, framing it as a cornerstone of national stability.
Hannity also underscored the president’s focus on public safety, including recognition of victims affected by crimes involving illegal immigrants. Trump referenced proposals such as the “Delilah Law,” aimed at strengthening protections and accountability measures. According to Hannity, these moments illustrated that the speech was grounded in the experiences of everyday Americans.
The Fox News host sharply criticized Democrats in attendance, accusing them of refusing to applaud key achievements or stand during tributes to victims and honored guests, including U.S. Olympic hockey players acknowledged during the address. Hannity described their reaction as soulless and politically driven.
He argued that the address transcended partisan divides, presenting it instead as a celebration of American resilience, prosperity, and renewal. In his view, the speech reinforced a broader narrative of national strength and momentum heading into a competitive political season.
