Biden to Address Less-Friendly Congress Tuesday
Feb. 7 will be President Joe Biden's formal opportunity to lay out his priorities before the newly sworn-in Congress. Days ahead of Tuesday night’s State of the Union speech, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre warned that the speech is often reworked until the very last moment. But, she said, some topics are a safe bet like “his economic vision building our economy from the bottom up and middle out, historic legislations passed into law over the last two years, and creating good paying middle-class jobs.” But will Biden’s second annual "SOTU" speech be a rerun of the first — or will he cover new ground? Analysts lay out what they expect to hear from the president in this yearly speech before a Congress that is no longer completely on his side. VOA’s Anita Powell reports from Washington.
