On Tuesday night, Donald J. Trump will address Congress in his first official State of the Union address as president, but some attendees are reportedly still waiting for their tickets because of a typo. 

It seems that tickets set to be given to guests of the House of Representatives labeled the event as the “State of the Uniom,” causing a delay in their distribution. 

Republicans may have to recall all State of the Union tickets because they say “Uniom” not “Union,” per two Dem aidespic.twitter.com/FosSnznIHp
