WATCH: Trump Shares Incredible Moment With Child Cancer Survivor In Congressional Address

President Donald Trump shared a touching moment with a young brain cancer survivor, as well as the families of Laken Riley and Jocelyn Nungary, both of whom were killed by illegal aliens, during Tuesday night’s joint address to both chambers of Congress.

Trump praised lawmakers for passing the Laken Riley Act earlier this year, which was named in honor of the slain University of Georgia who was raped and murdered by an illegal alien from Venezuela. The legislation — which was the first of President Trump’s second term — requires federal immigration agencies to detain illegal aliens convicted of crimes such as theft and assault.

The president then acknowledged members of Riley’s family, who received a standing ovation from Republicans while Democrats refused to flinch. Democrats also refused to clap when Trump acknowledged the mother of Jocelyn Nungary, a young woman who was killed by an illegal alien in Houston, Texas.

In honor of Nungary — who had a deep love of animals and nature — the president moved to name a nature preserve in nearby Galveston, Texas in Hungary’s honor. Vice President Vance presented the order to the president, who signed it into law with the Nungary family in attendance.

Trump also shared a special moment with an inspiring young man, DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old brain cancer survivor. Daniel has joined the ranks of scores of law enforcement precincts across the country, fulfilling his dream of becoming a police officer. Tuesday night, Trump endowed him with an incredible honor, officially making him an agent of the United States Secret Service.

“Tonight, DJ Daniel, we are going to do you the biggest honor of them all. I am asking our new Secret Service director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret Service,” Trump said.

By a large margin, Americans liked what they heard in Trump’s speech on Tuesday.

The speech—at over 100 minutes, the longest presidential address in modern history—touched on familiar themes throughout the night, from a swift end to wars to vindication of new tariffs. All were brought together under a banner of braggadocio that only the Republican could deliver. Among those who tuned in, the response was a thunderous clap of approval.

76% of speech watchers approved of Trump’s remarks compared to just 23% who disapproved, according to a CBS News poll released hours after Trump left the floor of the U.S. House. Respondents consisted of 51% Republicans, 27% independents, and 20% Democrats; so while viewers were likelier to be aligned with Trump’s views already, the fact that nearly half were not underscores how optimistic the general public is about his first six weeks in office.

Past polls have shown that President Trump is maintaining his support by tapping into some of the most popular elements of his agenda. One week after dressing down the president of Ukraine in front of the world, Trump insisted his approach will bring the two-and-a-half year long war to a close.

“Millions of Ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict with no end in sight. The United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine’s defense,” Trump said. “It’s time to stop this. It’s time to halt the killing. It’s time to end the senseless war.”
