During President Trump's joint address, Reps. Ro Khanna and Laura Gillen criticized their Democratic colleagues for not standing to honor 13-year-old cancer patient DJ Daniel. While Republicans stood and applauded, most Democrats stayed seated. Khanna and Gillen both stood and later expressed disappointment at their colleagues' lack of support. Khanna shared a story of a flight attendant who criticized the party's behavior, while Gillen emphasized the importance of kindness and unity. DJ, despite the cold reception, had a positive experience meeting Trump afterward.
