How the call settles
Video/reporting of the 2026-02-24 State of the Union shows Democratic members staying seated during widely sympathetic tributes or applause lines
Our reasoning
YES on the research record because Democratic members largely stayed seated through the 2026-02-24 address — including when Trump recognized Olympians, war heroes and law enforcement, and when he asked whether the government's first duty is to protect American citizens. Hakeem Jeffries had urged 'silent defiance,' and Republicans ran an ad on 2026-02-26 attacking Democrats for not standing.. Applied stored rule: Video/reporting of the 2026-02-24 State of the Union shows Democratic members staying seated during widely sympathetic tributes or applause lines.
