5 Things To Know For Your New Day-Tuesday February 28

President Trump Goes To Congress To Make A Sale:

Donald Trump needs to make a sale.

The businessman-turned President has his best chance to ignite momentum behind his agenda Tuesday night when he strides into the House chamber amid the pageantry of his first address to a Joint Session of Congress.

Trump will step up to the speaker’s rostrum after a tumultuous five weeks in office, in which he has started making good on his election promises but also whipped up controversy and disruption with his quintessential political style.

‘Biggest Loser’ Host Bob Harper ‘Feeling Better’ After Heart Attack:

Bob Harper, personal trainer and host of the NBC show “The Biggest Loser,” shared on Instagram that he had a heart attack two weeks ago.

“I am feeling better. Just taking it easy,” the 51-year old celebrity trainer posted with a photo of himself in bed, wearing a hospital gown. “I want to thank everyone for the outpouring of messages and support. It feels good to be cared about. I’ve been home for 8 days now.”

Ellen DeGeneres and Walmart Give These Students The Ultimate Prize:

Nyasha Biggs, 17, wasn’t sure what to expect when she and the rest of her high school class were flown to Los Angeles to appear on the “Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

“I knew she was going to give us something, but I wasn’t sure what it would be,” Biggs told CNN.

The big surprise? A full ride to college.

Biggs and the other 41 students from her senior class at the Summit Academy charter school in Brooklyn received four-year scholarships that will cover costs at any state university in New York.

Why Trump’s Tuesday Speech Isn’t A State Of The Union Address:

President Donald Trump is set to give an address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday — but it technically won’t be his first State of the Union address.

Trump isn’t shaking up any traditions — as he is known to do — but instead following what past presidents have done before him. His speech will be known as an “address to a joint session.”

Traditionally, a president of the United States should be in office for a year before they give their first State of the Union address.
