Biden to deliver first address to Congress: live broadcast in Russian

President Biden will deliver his first State of the Union address at 21:00 pm ET on Wednesday, April 28 (video broadcast in Russian - news below). In the speech, he will talk about his first 100 days in office and outline his administration's legislative plans, writes The New York Times.

The speech will be unusual by historical standards. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, attendance will be low - about 200 people. And with heightened security remaining around the Capitol complex following the Jan. 6 riot, invitees will not be allowed to bring guests.

This isn't technically the annual State of the Union address that presidents typically give—Joe Biden hasn't been in office long enough for that—but Biden's remarks are expected to combine elements of the traditional first address and the State of the Union address that presidents usually pronounced at a later date.

Biden is expected to present a broad case for his administration's goals, which will serve as the basis for debate in Congress in the coming weeks.

Due to the fact that the House of Representatives is not meeting this week, many of its members are not in Washington, only a few people from each party will be present in person.

A number of prominent senators, including Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, a Republican leader, and Lindsay Graham, a South Carolina Republican, have said they will come. Chief Justice John J. Roberts, Jr. is expected to be the only Chief Justice present.

What the President will talk about

In his first address to Congress, Biden will point out his accomplishments, writes "Voice of America"... The speech will allow Biden to talk about his efforts to revive the economy and fight the coronavirus.

However, he also plans to seize the moment to propose a broader agenda.

Biden did not deliver his traditional address to Congress earlier this year, as the White House said he was focusing on tackling the COVID-19 pandemic and rebuilding the country.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed confidence in the security measures taken in connection with Biden's speech.

“I had a very thorough briefing on Monday. We insisted on knowing all the details, ”she told reporters.

The National Guard, called in after the January 6 riots, continue to serve in the Capitol Hill area. Capitol police said the streets around the building would be closed two hours before the event.

“We have many options, and we prepare in advance for unforeseen situations,” - said Michael Plati, special agent of the Secret Service.

Biden's pledge to vaccinate 100 million people in his first 100 days in office was at the center of his campaign. In his speech, Biden will be able to say that he has exceeded that promise: since his arrival at the White House, 200 million doses have been injected.

In his talk, Biden will focus on the fact that about 43 percent of Americans have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, and nearly a third are fully vaccinated.

Biden will also try to garner support for a fundamental overhaul of the country's priorities, including a $ 2,3 trillion infrastructure plan, as well as at least $ XNUMX trillion for areas such as childcare, preschools and community colleges.

As a presidential candidate, Biden has pledged to end America's “never-ending wars”.

In his speech, the head of state plans to note that he has begun this by announcing the decision to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan by September 11.

The president will warn that the United States is in a dangerous world with a rising China, an increasingly aggressive Russia, the growing threat of cyber attacks, the nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea, and hotbeds of instability around the world.

But he will make it clear that he does not intend to counter these challenges with empty threats and unpredictability.

Rather, he will advocate a measured, proportionate response, pointing to his decision to impose sanctions against Russia for meddling in elections and poisoning a dissident.

In his speech, the president is expected to reiterate his call to Congress to accept his proposal for a comprehensive reform of the immigration system, which will open the way to citizenship for the approximately 11 million illegal immigrants living in the United States.
