Alice Stewart: Trump's guests put faces to his politics

On the eve of an expected acquittal in the US Senate and with the highest approval numbers of his presidency, according to Gallup polling, President Donald Trump delivered a State of the Union filled with unifying rhetoric. With a theme of "The Great American Comeback," the President focused on the fact that jobs are booming and confidence is surging -- and was met with chants of, "USA, USA."

Trump touted his plans for expanding the child tax credit, lowering prescription drug prices and improving infrastructure. However, this speech will be remembered for far more than policy proposals: what will stick most in memory are the people mentioned in the House chamber. The White House invited a number of guests who put a face on the policies important to this administration: national security, illegal immigration and the Space Force.

It was effective.

Sergeant First Class Townsend Williams was re-united with his family after being deployed in Afghanistan for several months. With tears in his eyes, Jody, the brother of Rocky Jones, who was killed by an undocumented immigrant, was introduced. And one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen, Brig. Gen. Charles McGee, was joined by his 13-year-old great-grandson Iain Lanphier to honor past service and promote a potential future Space Force program member.

Personal stories sway sentiment much more than talking points. The SOTU was a successful first step on the way to the general election.
