Cassidy shared his thoughts shortly after the event: “Just wrapped up the State of the Union Address.

He’s got a bright vision for the country. I’ll keep working to lower https://t.co/UGO4feJofJ” (February 25, 2026).

Later that day, Cassidy highlighted notable moments from the address: “Photos from last night’s State of the Union. A moving moment as Navy veteran Royce Williams received the Medal of Honor. Great to see the gold medal-winning Olympic hockey team, too. Moments like these make you proud to be an American. https://t.co/F9XG90Mg9G” (February 25, 2026).
