President Joe Biden addressed Congress and the nation with the annual State of the Union address on Thursday, March 7. The president, who is campaigning for a second term, focused on foreign aid and commitments to democracy, access to abortion, domestic manufacturing, capping prescription drug costs, border security and much more.
Seated behind Biden were Vice President Kamala Harris and, for the first time, Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, who assumed the office in October of 2023. Johnson is the third House leader to invite Biden to address the nation in as many years.
