President Joe Biden has accepted Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s Tuesday night invitation to address a joint session of Congress.
An address to a joint session of Congress is essentially the State of the Union address, however, it is not referred to as such until the president’s second year in office. Pelosi invited Biden to give the address in a letter, setting the date for April 28, which Biden accepted.
“Nearly 100 days ago, when you took the oath of office, you pledged in a spirit of great hope that ‘Help Is On The Way.’ Now, because of your historic and transformative leadership, Help Is Here!,” Pelosi wrote in the letter.
“In that spirit, I am writing to invite you to address a Joint Session of Congress on Wednesday, April 28, to share your vision for addressing the challenges and opportunities of this historic moment. Thank you for considering this invitation to speak to the Congress and the Nation,” she continued.
In the past, presidents such as Donald Trump and Barack Obama held their joint session of Congress in late February. Trump delivered his on Feb. 28, 2017, Obama delivered his on Feb. 24, 2009. Trump’s was the latest to date, however, Biden has now surpassed him. “Next month, in my first appearance before a joint session of Congress, I will lay out my ‘Build Back Better’ recovery plan,” Biden announced in late January.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked about the timing of a joint session of Congress in early March to which she replied Biden had never committed to a date or a month and said she did not have any dates on the calendar during a February briefing.
“It was never planned to be in February, and we don’t have a date for a joint session at this point,” Psaki told reporters then.
Another train wreck.
By then they’ll come up with a new ‘excuse’...................
Prepare the body double.
I heard someone say they will pump him full of the appropriate stimulants, so that he will be somewhat lucent and energetic that night.
These speeches tend to be an hour plus long. Will Joe be able to go that long? We will see.
“Members of...uh...uh...you know, the thing...who the hell ARE you people?! Jill, can you help me please?!”
Gearing up for Article 25. Is that a “not absolute” Amendment?
Someone need to send the time and the coordinates to Kim Jong-un for target practice.
If he can find his way over there. 😆
Or cgi
As the Chicoms begin to encircle Taiwan with aircraft & warships.
The set up begins.
Is this the same state of the union address that was supposed to happen two months ago?
No it isn't
I bet Kamala put him up to this.
Joe’s first question: Do we bring our own joints?
“Another train wreck.”
Oh good grief, you are right, another train wreck. Biden can’t even read off of little cards, Heaven help America.
And we saw it the last time he was on. He had index cards with the name of the reporter and the question he or she was gonna ask and the answer on the back. They ask him about gun control and he looked at the answer to the next question and started talking about clean drinking water. They all knew he was screwed so suddenly he said bye and walked off. He hit asked a question about the boarder twice and knew it was coming and still got flustered, later it on kamala feet and hauled ass out of there.
