"The notion of half my colleagues rising and standing and enormous clapping for… things that I think are terrible for the American people every couple minutes will not be funny," Beyer said of the address, according to POLITICO. "I don’t see that I’ll contribute anything to the event."

Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., will deliver the Democrats' rebuttal address after Trump's speech, focusing her remarks on what actions the administration is currently taking.
"The public expects leaders to level with them on what’s actually happening in our country," Slotkin said in a statement. "From our economic security to our national security, we’ve got to chart a way forward that actually improves people’s lives in the country we all love, and I’m looking forward to laying that out."
