President Joe Biden has accepted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s invitation to deliver the State of the Union address on Feb. 7.
The prime-time speech, delivered annually by the president, will be Biden’s first opportunity to address Congress since Republicans took control of the House earlier this year. Biden is expected to touch on a range of pressing issues, from the war in Ukraine to the looming US debt-ceiling fight.
