President Joe Bidenโsย address to a joint session of Congress will be April 28. We reported several weeks ago that the White House was looking at scheduling Bidenโs speech to Congress around his 100th day in office. April 28 is Bidenโs 99th day as president.
โฆ The crowd for this Biden speech is expected to be far smaller than it usually would be for a joint session. Multiple senior aides tell us that only several hundred people would be allowed in the House chamber, and there will be strict spacing requirements on the floor.
According to a Capitol officialย involved in the planning, โthere will be limits on the number of members and senators allowed to attend,โ and lawmakers will be seated both on the floor and galleries above. Like other presidential addresses, this Biden speech will be designated a โNational Security Special Event.โ This formally puts the U.S. Secret Service in charge of โdeveloping, exercising, and implementing security operationsโ for the event.
