President Joe Biden will deliver his State of the Union address to Congress next month after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) formally invited him.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that Biden accepted the House speaker’s invitation, according to a statement issued by the administration late last week. It would be the first time Biden addressed a divided Congress as president and McCarthy’s first State of the Union address as speaker, following Republicans’ midterm wins in the House.
