President Joe Biden on Wednesday night delivered his first address to a joint session of Congress on the eve of his 100th day in office, attempting to paint the future of the nation as that of hope, strength, and resilience amid the ongoing CCP virus pandemic while calling on lawmakers to back his radical proposals, including on infrastructure, election reform, police reform, and gun control.

Biden claimed to have on Jan. 20 inherited a nation that was “in crisis” under his predecessor former President Donald Trump, giving examples such as the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic and the resultant economic fallout across the country. The CCP virus is commonly known as the novel coronavirus, which originated in Wuhan, China. Biden also cited the Jan. 6 breach of the Capitol, which he dubbed “the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.”
