Biden’s State of the Union Address on March 1

Marking the latest any president has delivered a State of the Union address, US President Joe Biden will deliver his first State of the Union address on March 1.
The White House has confirmed the schedule after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent the president a formal invitation to speak to Congress and the American public one year into his term.
The last State of the Union address was delivered by then-President Donald Trump on the eve of his acquittal by the Senate in his first impeachment trial.
Officials said pandemic precautions for this year’s speech were still being worked out, though they expect it to look more like a traditional State of the Union address than last year’s remarks.
An address to Congress in the president’s first year is not an official State of the Union address, and Biden’s April speech bore little resemblance to one because of strict Covid-19 protocols. It was marked by limitations on attendance, with no guests allowed, and lawmakers seated on both the floor of the House chamber and the galleries above.
