Sen. Bernie Sanders will offer his own response Tuesday night to President Trump's first prime-time address to the nation from the Oval Office.

Sanders, an Independent Vermont senator who votes with Democrats, will stream his reaction to Trump's speech on social media after the official Democratic response delivered by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

Pelosi and Schumer issued a statement Monday demanding "equal airtime" after Trump makes his case for his proposed southern border wall in a speech that's expected to last about 10 minutes. The president's 2016 campaign promise has become a sticking point in negotiations to end the partial government shutdown.

Discussions regarding funding broke down on Dec. 22 after Trump insisted on $5.7 billion to build a barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border, while congressional Democrats have refused to agree to any new money for the wall.

“Now that the television networks have decided to air the President’s address, which if his past statements are any indication will be full of malice and misinformation, Democrats must immediately be given equal airtime," Pelosi and Schumer wrote.
