The 2019 State of the Union is getting closer. On Feb. 5, hundreds of people will pour into the House Chamber to hear President Trump’s agenda for his third year in office, from politicians like Sen. Kamala Harris (D-California) to everyday people. Speaking of the senator, you might be wondering: Who is Kamala Harris guest at the 2019 State of the Union? TBH, the guest has got a really powerful story.
Typically, the president and congressional members invite guests whose lives reflect policy issues or key stances they support, and this year Harris is sticking to tradition. She reportedly chose Trisha Pesiri-Dybvik, a woman who lost her home in California’s Thomas Fire, which ripped through the state for more than six months, CNN reported. Even sadder is that Pesiri-Dybvik and her husband are air traffic controllers who were affected by the recent partial government shutdown, which lasted for more than a month and stemmed from a stalemate between President Trump and Congress over funding for a wall at the United States southern border.
