(AP) – More than a dozen Democrats joined Republicans in a standing ovation for a guest to Tuesday’s address; he’s a child diagnosed with cancer who President Donald Trump said aspires to become a police officer.
Trump announced Devarjay “DJ” Daniel would be sworn in by new Secret Service Director Sean Curran as a member of the force.
The child was held up by his father as Republicans and attendees in the House gallery chanted “DJ.”
Democrats then went largely silent as Trump discussed his health policies.
Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib held up a whiteboard that read, “You cut cancer research.”
One Republican shouted, “MAHA baby!”
