House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has invited President Joe Biden to address a joint session of Congress on April 28, a week which marks his first 100 days in office.
“Nearly 100 days ago, when you took the oath of office, you pledged in a spirit of great hope that ‘Help Is On The Way.’ Now, because of your historic and transformative leadership, Help Is Here!” Pelosi wrote.
“In that spirit, I am writing to invite you to address a Joint Session of Congress on Wednesday, April 28, to share your vision for addressing the challenges and opportunities of this historic moment,” she added.
Biden laid out an ambitious agenda for his first 100 days in office, promising to combat the coronavirus pandemic, tackle climate change and reform immigration. Congress last month passed a $1.9 trillion Covid-relief bill on a party-line vote, NBC news reports.
The address comes as the Biden administration is trying to pass major legislation on infrastructure, gun control, unions through Congress, most of which is facing firm opposition from Republicans.
