Speaking at the Scottish Liberal Democrats conference, Davey urged Prime Minister Keir Starmer to take Donald Trump to court over economic harm from the now-invalidated tariffs on UK exports like cars and pharmaceuticals.

House Speaker Mike Johnson labeled the boycott shameful, saying Republicans don't skip such events no matter the president's party, as it disenfranchises constituents. Critics pointed to past Republican absences, like nine GOP lawmakers missing Biden's 2022 address over COVID rules and others during Clinton's 1999 speech amid impeachment. Johnson's office dismissed the Democratic action as Trump Derangement Syndrome, while the large-scale coordinated boycott underscores growing partisan tensions in a narrowly divided Congress.

Key Takeaway

More than 80 House Democrats skipped President Trump's State of the Union on February 24, 2026, opting for protests outside the Capitol instead.
