Stacey Abrams, who ran for governor of Georgia in 2018 and is pictured here on Election Night, will deliver the Democratic response to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address Tuesday night.

Following the president's annual State of the Union address Tuesday night, Georgia politician Stacey Abrams delivered the Democratic response.

VPR carried NPR's special live coverage of President Donald Trump's speech Tuesday night —find an annotated version of that speech here — followed by the subsequent Democratic response to the address.

Sen. Bernie Sanders streamed his own response to the State of the Union online, as well.
