President Joe Biden gave a strong speech today, proud to have him as President.
President Joe Biden made the case for sweeping government action in an address to a sparsely populated joint session of Congress like no other in U.S. history. Speaking on the 99th day of his presidency in a chamber overrun by insurrectionists just more than three months ago, Biden laid out an ambitious legislative agenda before an audience of lawmakers severely limited by the coronavirus pandemic.
In a historic first, two women were seated directly behind Biden on the dais: Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Vice President Harris. The president fist-bumped lawmakers as he entered the chamber, including Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), the third-ranking House Republican who voted to impeach former President Trump for inciting the Jan. 6 mob.
