Women make history as Pelosi, Harris flank Biden for speech
When US President Joe Biden on Wednesday addresses a joint session of Congress for the first time, history will be made behind him, with two powerful women taking their places on the rostrum for the first time.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has been in the position before during presidential speeches.
But with the addition this time of Kamala Harris, the nation's first female vice president, the two people seated behind and on either side of Biden who Americans see on their TV screens during the primetime address will be women.
It marks a milestone in the nation's nearly 245-year history, and female lawmakers noted the symbolism regarding the strides that women have taken to reach positions of American power.
