Monday

"House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said he was 'trying to work out logistics' after President Donald Trump invited the men’s U.S. Hockey team to the State of the Union following their gold medal win against Canada on Sunday."

"Fox News’s Chad Pergram reported Monday, 'Johnson says he expects both the men’s and women’s gold medal winning hockey teams to attend State of the Union tomorroe [sic] night.' "

"In a second post, Pergram quoted Johnson as saying, 'We’ve got to figure out logistics. There’s no way to have special guests on the floor because it’s a literal session of Congress and you know that’s what’s good about rules.' "
