The White House announced on Monday that President Joe Biden will be giving the State of the Union address on March 7 from the US Capitol. The announcement was made by Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary.
The speech, traditionally held before a joint session of Congress, is a yearly event in which a president addresses the nation. In his address, Biden is expected to give an update on his agenda and the country’s current state of affairs.
The president will also likely be making a push for his American Families Plan, a package of tax credits, investments, and paid family and medical leave provisions. Recent polls show that his plan has widespread support from the public, though Republican leaders have opposed some of its provisions.
The State of the Union address will take place just days after the second anniversary of Biden’s presidential campaign kickoff. He is likely use the address to review his accomplishments, such as signing the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, and outline his vision for the future of the country.
The White House is also expected to use the address as an opportunity to highlight the recent vaccine rollout across the country, and encourage people to get vaccinated as soon as possible. The Biden Administration has been pushing to meet its target of vaccinating 100 million people in the first 100 days of his presidency, and the State of the Union is another chance for the president to emphasize the importance of this goal.
The March 7 address will be the first time Biden gives his State of the Union in front of a joint session of Congress since taking office. He is expected to use the occasion to call on both parties to work together to tackle the country’s greatest challenges.
