Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz gave his 2025 State of the State speech before the Minnesota legislature. While much of it was typical of such speeches, he also harshly criticized the Trump administration in plain language.
The vid includes the entire speech as well as 5 minutes of pre-speech activity in the chamber.

ICYMI, Illinois Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker gave a great State of the State Address this week.
Just one of many good lines...
"We don't have kings in America – and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one. I'm not speaking up in service to my ambitions – but in deference to my obligations."
State of the State speeches are seldom memorable. This is an exception.

If you're outside the US and wish to get a better idea of where Tim Walz stands, let me recommend his April 2023 State of the State speech to the Minnesota legislature. This is well before he became a national figure.
While it's mostly policy and politics, his personality does show through.
