Discussion Thread: President Biden Addresses a Joint Session of Congress - 04/28/2021 | Live - 9:00 PM ET

President Biden delivers his first address to a Joint Session of Congress.

Tonight's address comes on the eve of President Biden's 100th day in office, which is later than these addresses are traditionally given. This, however, allows President Biden to have a larger pool of experience to speak of, with several early key victories and accomplishments for this administration to be a focus of the address.

Several other changes will be evident, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Attendance will be limited to 200, with few special guests. Notable attendees include: First Lady Dr. Jill Biden. Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff. Chief Justice John Roberts, with no other justices in attendance. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken are expected to be the only Cabinet members to attend. Selected members from each party of the Senate and House of Representatives will attend. President Biden will make the traditional entrance and walk down the aisle, but will do so masked, and will speak before an entirely masked audience. Interestingly, due to the small scale of tonight's Joint Session, it was decided that there will be no designated survivor in place.

Perhaps most notably, tonight will be the first time in history that this address will be delivered with two women appearing with the President. Vice President Kamala Harris and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi will be seated behind President Biden during his address to Congress

Expected topics for tonight's address may include, but are not limited to:

Coronavirus response and relief
Climate change
Immigration and the southern border
The American Families Plan
Infrastructure
and much more

Afterwards, Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) will deliver the Republican response, which is expected to be directed at "working Americans."

The Address is scheduled to begin at 9:00 PM ET. All major networks will air the Address. You can watch live online via:

Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) delivers the Republican response to President Biden's address to a joint session of Congress.

Following President Biden's Address to Joint Session of Congress, Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, the only Black Senator in the GOP, will provide the rebuttal. The opposing parties response is notable because it is used as a platform for up and coming national politicians, such as Georgia Activist Stacy Abrams in 2019.

The Address is scheduled to begin at 10:00 PM EDT. You can watch live online via:
