Daily Mail: The State of the Union address is 'tentatively set for February 5' after Trump cut a deal to reopen the government
* The State of the Union address may take place on February 5, sources say
* The speech was formerly slated for January 29 but was postponed due to the partial government shutdown that finally ended on Friday
* Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi requested the speech be delayed on January 16 until the government was running again
* Trump says he'll sign a spending bill to reopen the government for three weeks
* On Friday Pelosi said the address 'is not planned now' and she and the president will work on a 'mutually agreeable date'
The State of the Union address may take place on February 5 now that the federal government is set to reopen.
Donald Trump's presidential address was formerly scheduled for January 29 at the House Chamber but it was postponed due to the partial government shutdown that is now the longest in U.S. history.
The shutdown was finally brought to an end on Friday after it stretched to its 35th day.
Despite the government getting back on its feet, it's reportedly 'not physically possible' to hold the annual speech next Tuesday, a source tells Fox News.

WNU Editor: The Speaker's Office is saying that there will be no State of the Union Speech this week .... Trump's State of the Union address is still not happening Tuesday despite shutdown ending, Pelosi says (USA Today). If in the end there is no State of the Union Speech .... this will be unprecedented. As for the government shutdown being "resolved" .... it is not resolved. While many do not believe there is a crisis at the border, many others do. We will be back to to square one in three weeks.
