President Joe Biden will deliver his first State of Union address on March 1. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., issued the formal invitation on Friday for Biden to deliver the speech before a joint session of Congress. "Thank you for your bold vision and patriotic leadership which have guided America out of crisis and into an era of great progress, as we not only recover from the pandemic but Build Back Better," Pelosi penned to Biden. "Indeed, this past year has been historic: with the life-saving American Rescue Plan, once-in-a-century Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and, soon, the truly transformational Build Back Better Act!" "In that spirit, I am writing to invite you to address a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday, March 1, to share your vision of the State of the Union," she continued. The White House said Biden has accepted the invitation.
