Rep. Joe Kennedy (D-Mass.) has been selected to deliver the Democratic Party's response to President Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday night, party leaders announced.

Kennedy, the great-nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, is a 37-year-old rising star in the Democratic Party and is currently serving his third term as a Massachusetts congressman.

Congressman Kennedy is a relentless fighter for working Americans, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a statement.

While President Trump has consistently broken his promises to the middle class, Congressman Kennedy profoundly understands the challenges facing hard-working men and women across the country," she added.

"His leadership has been vital in educating a next-generation workforce, in creating good-paying manufacturing jobs and in expanding opportunities for the middle class.

Democrats also announced that Virginia state Del. Elizabeth Guzman (D) would deliver the party's Spanish-language response. Guzman is the first Hispanic female immigrant elected to the Virginia House of Delegates.

Pelosi called Guzman "a respected advocate and community leader who represents the best of our nations ideals."

"Driven by her faith and her belief in the promise of the American Dream, Elizabeth has been a vital, relentless leader for the voiceless," Pelosi said.

Joe Kennedy does not support that, though. He doesn't even want legal pot.

Those are weird issues to bring up together.

Sorry, they also happen to be the extent of my knowledge about Joe Kennedy. My point is he's not some radical.

No but seriously, are they trying to prop him up for a 2020 run? Because I'm not certain where else they would be trying to go with all of this.

I hope not. But last year they had Steve Beshear (ex-Kentucky governor) do it, and he's very obviously a nobody, so maybe it's not about the presidency?

Aren't most of the Kennedy's raging assholes?

I'm not just talking about him doing the speech. It's the way they're trying to talk him up from a policy standpoint. It just seems like they're trying to paint a much bigger picture, especially when comparing him directly to Trump's broken promises. That's a campaign statement.
