"Biden Set to Address Nation in State of the Union on March 7 Amid Challenges"

House Speaker Mike Johnson has invited President Biden to deliver the State of the Union address on March 7, 2024. This invitation is in line with the constitutional requirement for the president to report on the nation's status. The address is set later than usual, following a similar schedule to the previous year's address. This will be Johnson's first time presiding over a joint session as speaker since his election in October. The invitation comes amidst critical deadlines for government funding and discussions on military aid.
