Capitol Report (March 1): Biden Addresses Nation at Fraught Moment

President Joe Biden is addressing the nation before Congress Tuesday night in his first State of the Union address, where he’ll discuss America’s role in the Ukraine war. And he will announce a new plan to tackle inflation and mental health—an area where he hopes to find common ground.

With the world on edge as the situation in Ukraine continues to unfold, and as Biden prepares to give his first-ever State of the Union speech, we spoke to House Republican Conference Vice-Chair Mike Johnson to ask him what he thinks of the state of our union.

And on this big day, a group of people from across the country have come to Washington, D.C. What do they have to say to Biden?

Many countries are supporting Ukraine as its citizens fight off Russia’s invasion. But are we giving Ukraine what it actually needs?

And we speak to another member of Congress ahead of the State of the Union to get a feel for what the president might say. Will there be a way to unite both parties?

Twitter is suspending a Republican congresswoman’s account for saying women’s sports are for women.

For the first time since the pandemic began, the National Cherry Blossom Festival will be back—in person—this spring.
