President Donald Trump kicked off his address before a joint session of Congress Tuesday evening.
"To my fellow citizens, America is back," Trump declared after thanking the members of Congress and first lady Melania Trump.
"Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the golden Age of America," he said. "From that moment on, it has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country. We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplished in four years or eight years. And we are just getting started."
The audience was heard chanting "USA, USA, USA" amid the president's opening remarks.
Trump arrived to the podium shortly after 9:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time Tuesday, where he was greeted by cheers from conservative lawmakers, while Democrats overwhelmingly remained seated.
