Trump beats Bill Clinton's record for longest State of the Union speech

WASHINGTON, United States, Feb 25, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - US President Donald Trump 
delivered the longest-ever State of the Union address on Tuesday, beating 
Bill Clinton's 2000 record of one hour and 20 minutes.

Republican Trump also smashed his own 1 hour and 40 minute record for a 
presidential speech to Congress, which he set last March in an annual address 
that was not technically a State of the Union.
