Rep. Tulsi Gabbard was one of the few Democrats to sit next to a Republican during the State of the Union address Tuesday night, but she spent much of it on her phone. Sen. Bernie Sanders, pen in hand, reviewed and edited the prepared text of his response during the first part of the speech. Rep. Tim Ryan stood in the back looking bored most of the time.

The rest of the Democratic lawmakers running or considering bids for president in 2020 paid more attention to President Donald Trump as he spoke but often sat stone-faced in reaction to his assertions and promises.

Trump delivered his address before hundreds of lawmakers seated in a packed House chamber, but it was the 11 congressional Democrats who could be his competition next year whose reaction probably mattered most.

Five of them have already jumped in the presidential race: Gabbard of Hawaii and Sens. Kamala Harris of California, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Cory Booker of New Jersey and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.

The other six — Sens. Sanders of Vermont, Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Jeff Merkley of Oregon and Reps. Ryan of Ohio and Eric Swalwell of California — have expressed interest in running but haven’t yet announced their plans.
