President Joe Biden has been invited by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to address a joint session of Congress on April 28, his first such address as president.

In a letter to the president, Speaker Pelosi wrote, "Nearly 100 days ago, when you took the oath of office, you pledged in a spirit of great hope that 'Help Is On The Way.' Now, because of your historic and transformative leadership, Help Is Here!

"In that spirit, I am writing to invite you to address a Joint Session of Congress on Wednesday, April 28, to share your vision for addressing the challenges and opportunities of this historic moment," Pelosi added.

A White House official said, “The President has accepted the invitation of the Speaker of the House to address a Joint Session of Congress on April 28, the night before his 100th day in office.“

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday that Biden was excited to accept Pelosi’s invitation, adding it’s something he’s been excited to do since he was inaugurated.

Psaki said it was too early to preview what the president might say but that people could expect him to talk “he will talk about all of the priorities and his commitment to building the economy back better, getting the pandemic under control, addressing the challenges we face around the world.”

The address will almost certainly look different from a traditional joint session due to precautions against COVID-19. The speech will give the president a chance to pitch both chambers of Congress, as well as the American people, on his $2 trillion proposed infrastructure plan and provide an update on his administration's response to the pandemic.
