A second Democrat has departed President Donald Trump's State of the Union Address, as he continued to outline various policies he wants to see Congress pass.
"Representative Lauren Underwood, Democrat of Illinois, has walked out," reported Annie Karni of The New York Times.
Underwood's departure comes after Rep. Al Green's (D-TX) dramatic exit, following multiple Republican efforts to seize his sign saying "BLACK PEOPLE AREN'T APES," which was a protest against a racist post Trump promoted on his Truth Social platform earlier this month.
The president reportedly has a record-length speech planned, with some members expecting it could last all the way to midnight.
