华盛顿报道 — 周二,数十名民主党人将抵制总统国情咨文演讲,许多人选择举办附近的对抗性活动,而非近年来众议院会议厅内出现的抗议示威。
去年,在特朗普向国会参众两院发表演讲期间,得克萨斯州民主党众议员阿尔·格林起身抗议呼喊,随后被带出会议厅。其他民主党人则通过举标语、在衣物上表达立场或直接离席等方式进行抗议。
但今年,民主党人似乎倾向于采取不同的策略。
纽约州民主党人、众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯上周在新闻发布会上向民主党人介绍了这些选择。
“我们在众议院面临的两个选择是:要么以沉默的反抗态度出席,要么不参加,并以这种方式向唐纳德·特朗普传递信息,”杰弗里斯说道,同时指向国会大厦周边参与替代活动的机会。
周二,许多民主党人将在国家广场参加名为“人民国情咨文”的对抗性活动。马萨诸塞州参议员埃德·马基、俄勒冈州参议员杰夫·默克利、康涅狄格州参议员克里斯·墨菲、明尼苏达州参议员蒂娜·史密斯和马里兰州参议员克里斯·范霍伦计划出席,此外还有华盛顿州众议员普拉米拉·贾亚帕尔、佛蒙特州众议员贝卡·巴林特和得克萨斯州众议员格雷格·卡萨。
马基在一份声明中表示:“如果特朗普不尊重美国人民,那么人民应该关掉他的讲话,转而关注彼此——关注邻居、社区以及这个国家的真正力量。”
晚间早些时候,国家新闻俱乐部还将举办另一场名为“沼泽国情咨文”的对抗性活动。俄勒冈州参议员罗恩·怀登、马萨诸塞州众议员塞思·莫尔顿、纽约州众议员丹·戈德曼和弗吉尼亚州众议员尤金·温德曼等人计划出席。
另有一些民主党人计划抵制演讲,且不参与任何对抗性活动。纽约州众议员亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科特兹的发言人表示,她不会出席特朗普的国情咨文演讲。亚利桑那州民主党参议员鲁本·加列戈在社交媒体发布的视频中表示,他也不会参加国情咨文演讲,强调“与其花两个小时只是按提示鼓掌,我有更有成效的事情要做”。他称计划利用这段时间“为亚利桑那州工作”并陪伴家人。
部分民主党人还计划邀请特定嘉宾来表达立场。加州众议员罗伯特·加西亚领导民主党人推动释放爱泼斯坦案件文件,他告诉记者,他将带爱泼斯坦虐待幸存者之一安妮·法默出席。加西亚表示自己会参加对抗性活动,而法默将出席总统的演讲。
不过,仍有一些民主党人计划出席演讲。康涅狄格州民主党参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔告诉记者,他会出席,因为“我认为当面与他对质很重要”。
布卢门撒尔说:“我不会让他把我逼出这个房间,我会以适当的方式表示反抗,当然是以沉默的方式。我认为其他人会选择其他方式表达他们的反对或不满。”

Dozens of Democrats to boycott Trump’s State of the Union address
February 24, 2026 / 9:30 AM EST / CBS News
Washington — Dozens of Democrats are boycotting the State of the Union on Tuesday, as many opt to hold nearby counterprogramming rather than signs of protests like those seen within the House chamber in recent years.
Last year, Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas was escorted from the chamber after he stood and shouted in protest during Mr. Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress. Other Democrats protested by holding up signs and wearing statements on their clothing or walking out of the chamber altogether.
But this year, Democrats appeared keen on taking a different approach.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, a New York Democrat, presented the options for Democrats at a news conference last week.
“The two options that are in front of us in our House is to either attend with silent defiance or to not attend, and send a message to Donald Trump in that fashion,” Jeffries said, while pointing to opportunities for participation in alternate programming around the Capitol.
A number of Democrats are set to attend counterprogramming Tuesday on the National Mall, dubbed the “People’s State of the Union.” Sens. Ed Markey of Massachusetts, Jeff Merkley of Oregon, Chris Murphy of Connecticut, Tina Smith of Minnesota and Chris Van Hollen of Maryland night are set to attend, along with Reps. Pramila Jayapal of Washington, Becca Balint of Vermont and Greg Casar of Texas.
“If Trump will not honor the American people, then the people should turn off his remarks and turn toward each other – toward their neighbors, their communities, and the real power of this country,” Markey said in a statement.
Another counterprogramming event is taking place at the National Press Club earlier in the night called the “State of the Swamp.” Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon is set to attend, along with Reps. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, Dan Goldman of New York and Eugene Vindman of Virginia, among others.
Others are expected to boycott the speech without plans for any counterprogramming. A spokesperson for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York said she will not be attending Mr. Trump’s State of the Union address. Sen. Ruben Gallego, an Arizona Democrat, said in a video posted on social media that he will not attend the State of the Union either, stressing that “there’s more productive things I can be doing with my time than just sitting there for two hours and clapping on cue.” He said he plans to spend the time “working for Arizona” and with his family.
Some Democrats are also planning to make a statement with their invited guests. Rep. Robert Garcia of California, who has led Democrats on the Oversight Committee as they pushed for the release of the Epstein files, told reporters he is bringing Annie Farmer, one of the survivors of Epstein’s abuse. Garcia said he will be attending counterprogramming, while Farmer will attend the president’s address.
Still, some Democrats do plan to attend the address. Sen. Richard Blumethal, a Connecticut Democrat, told reporters he will be in attendance because “I think it’s important to confront him face to face.”
“I refuse to let him bully me out of the room, and I will be defiant in whatever way is appropriate, certainly by silence,” Blumenthal said. “I think that others will choose other ways to express their disagreement or disapproval.”
