What a coincidence! There's going to be an empty seat in front of the TV at my house too....let me know if I miss something.
The White House has always invited guests to the State of the Union to move the president's political message along.
But this year, the lack of a guest is also meant to have meaning.
An empty chair at Tuesday's State of the Union – President Obama's last – will signify 'victims of gun violence,' the White House announced today.
The vacant seat is to 'remind every single one of our representatives that it’s their responsibility to do something about this.'
