Four members of Colorado s congressional delegation will be in the room Wednesday night when President Joe Biden delivers his first address to a slimmed-down, invite-only joint session of Congress.
Attendance at the speech in House chambers â Biden s first major indoor event since taking office â will be capped due to COVID-19 concerns at around 200 lawmakers rather than the typical crowd of as many as 1,200 officials and their guests that shows up in person to hear presidential addresses at the Capitol.
Colorado s two U.S. senators, Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, both Denver Democrats, plan to attend the speech, as do U.S. Reps. Joe Neguse, a Lafayette Democrat, and Lauren Boebert, a Silt Republican, their offices told Colorado Politics.
