In-house pool 3: color, arrival

Schoolchildren filled about half the audience, their heads barely topping the chair backs. The adults present include Education Secretary Linda McMahon, House Education chairman Tim Walberg (R-Michigan) and Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-Arkansas). Singers with the U.S. Army’s rock band entertained the crowd, and students from St. Xavier Catholic Academy led the Pledge of Allegiance.

The president entered at 2:37 p.m. His remarks are being live-streamed.
