By NPR News April 28, 2021

President Joe Biden addressed a joint session of Congress, his first since becomming president, on April 28, 2021, a day before his 100th day in office. It was a smaller event than the normal State of the Union address, with only several hundred in the chamber and no special guests, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

“America is on the move again,” President Biden said in his first joint address to Congress Wednesday night, remarks given amid the coronavirus pandemic. “Turning peril into possibility. Crisis into opportunity. Setback into strength.”

The speech comes about 100 days into his presidency, and is being delivered to a Capitol chamber with reduced occupancy, as a result of the pandemic.

Biden is detailing his early accomplishments, and his newly unveiled American Families Plan.
