Many of President Trump's strongest allies, including family members and vocal surrogates during the campaign, appeared in the House chamber on Tuesday for his address to Congress.

Why it matters: Trump used his remarks to tout his accomplishments during his first six weeks in office, while some Democrats in the chamber took the opportunity to protest his administration's agenda.

Trump's entrance into the chamber was a celebratory affair for Republican lawmakers and his allies, while Democrats largely remained stone-faced.

Driving the news: Elon Musk, one of the most influential people in Trump's orbit, filed into the House chamber before the president's remarks.

Trump's children, including Ivanka and her spouse, Jared Kushner, Eric, Donald Jr. and Tiffany, were also in attendance.
Chris LaCivita, Trump's former co-campaign manager, was sitting behind Trump's family members.
Conservative media personalities Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro were seated on the opposite side of the chamber as Trump's family members.

Zoom in: Trump's Cabinet members, including FBI director Kash Patel, were also in attendance.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Elena Kagan, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett also filed into the House chamber.
