Biden Invited to Address Joint Session of Congress on April 28

[left-of-center2012]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has invited President Joe Biden to deliver his first address to a joint session of Congress on April 28. The address will come just before his 100th day in office.

“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 said in a letter to the president.

“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.”

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the invitation.

1. Look Forward To It. nt

2. I can't wait to see the President standing in front of the senate and house,

with two women seated behind him!

3. I fear ...

Some Republican idiot Senator or Representative will yell out or do something to interrupt Biden.

10. Hopefully Joe will be prepared with something.

Maybe "60% of Republican voters support this."

"You are in the minority."

"You are not supported by your constituents."

9. Oooooooooooh YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAH!

5. Another state of the Union

Another state of the Union, nice. I somehow missed coverage of the first one.

6. Someone posted that it's not customary to have a St. Union until year two. So this is a special

Event, like Pelosi said, to highlight all the actions that have been made in less than 100 days! Quite a compliment!

7. And well deserved! After the soulless, angry, raving Trump we need the tranquillity of devoted

service to our country. We can get that when Biden speaks to us.

8. I'll tune in! Didn't listen to what's his name.

12. With all the news drama going on and breaking banners

it's a shame that this was not played up more. Maybe the media are afraid to hear what he has to say. I *know* there will NOT be 600+ people in that chamber due to COVID-19 protocols when this kicks off and I expect that "guests" will probably be limited to whatever few might be "featured" in the address (if any - although they could be given a nod virtually). Congressional members will most likely also be seated up in the galley to spread them out in there (at least those who choose to attend) in a manner not unlike what went on with the Joint Sessions related to the Electoral College vote count and final certification.

And expect the security to be unprecedented.

Thank you for posting!!
