Trump Economic Push Dominates State of Union Address President Trump delivered a nearly two-hour State of the Union address Tuesday, heavily emphasizing economic growth as his administration faces declining poll numbers on the economy ahead of the 2026 midterms. The speech outlined several economic proposals aimed at boosting public support before crucial congressional elections that could shift control of Washington. Trump proposed a government-backed 401(k)-like retirement plan for workers without employer matches, offering annual government contributions up to $1,000. The plan would leverage existing Savers Match tax credits beginning in 2027, targeting low-income workers currently excluded from traditional retirement benefits. The administration framed this as expanding stock market access to all Americans.
