House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) broke with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Tuesday telling Fox’s Neil Cavuto “sure” when asked if he was open to having President Trump give his State of the Union address in person on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Cavuto followed up by asking Hoyer if he thought Pelosi would also allow Trump to give the address on the House floor Jan. 29, given that she suggested he postpone the address or deliver it in writing.

“I don’t know what the discussions have been, so I don’t want to say,” Hoyer replied.
Hoyer did point out that the State of the Union address is approved by a resolution from both chambers of Congress.

"The president comes here at the invitation of the Congress, and particularly the House, to address the Congress of the United States," he emphasized.

Earlier in the interview, Hoyer also seemed to disagree with Pelosi’s labeling walls as “immoral.”
