Biden to deliver State of the Union address on Feb. 7

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Friday invited President Joe Biden to give the State of the Union address on Feb. 7. “Your remarks will inform our efforts to address the priorities of the American people,” said McCarthy, a California Republican who was chosen as speaker on Jan. 7 after 15 rounds of voting. Biden “looks forward to speaking with Republicans, Democrats, and the country about how we can work together to continue building an economy that works from the bottom up and the middle out, keep boosting our competitiveness in the world, keep the American people safe, and bring the country together,” White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.
