Biden pitches agenda to joint session of Congress ahead of 100th day in office

Biden will have his first chance to give his own joint address as president from the House chamber -- an important moment for every president to connect with the country.

Throughout his nearly 50 years in Washington, Joe Biden has attended his fair share of State of the Union and joint addresses under eight different presidents -- as a senator for 36 years and vice president for eight. Wednesday night, Biden will have his first chance to give his own joint address as president from the House chamber -- an important moment for every president to connect with the country. "(He) certainly recognizes that this is an opportunity to speak directly to the American people, one of the highest-profile opportunities that any president has in their first year in office," White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Thursday. Biden's remarks come on the eve of his 100th day in office, a progress marker for every modern presidency -- giving Biden the opportunity to both look back at his accomplishments so far and push ahead of the rest of his agenda.
