Biden is expected to provide an update on the coronavirus pandemic and tout some of the early successes during his first 100 days in office. He will also unveil details about his $1.8 trillion American Rescue Plan, which focuses on providing affordable childcare and higher education to Americans.
Biden s address will feel slightly different than previous times when other presidents have delivered remarks to Congress. Security will be stepped up due to concerns of unrest following the insurrection attempt on January 6, and the chamber will be less crowded due to social distancing requirements. The crowd will be limited to around 200 attendees. In previous years, upwards of 1,600 people have packed the room.
