Follow live updates on Biden’s State of the Union address.
President Biden will deliver the State of the Union address on Thursday night at 9 p.m. before a joint session of Congress, laying out his agenda ahead of the presidential election in November.
Mr. Biden will seek to reassure Americans with a strong performance as he navigates wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, a public disinclined to view the economy favorably and voters who are concerned about his age.
Here’s what you need to know.
Where can I watch?
The New York Times will stream the address at nytimes.com with live analysis from reporters. The speech will also be carried by major television networks and on cable.
The White House will also stream the address, accompanied by American Sign Language interpretation, on wh.gov/sotu. Mr. Biden is expected to speak for a little over an hour.
Who will deliver responses?
Senator Katie Britt, Republican of Alabama, will deliver the response for Republicans, setting up an opposing agenda to the one presented by the Democratic president. Ms. Britt, 42, is the former chief of staff to her predecessor, Senator Richard Shelby. She was sworn in as Alabama’s first elected female senator last January and endorsed former President Donald J. Trump in December.
Monica De La Cruz, a freshman Republican from Texas, will deliver the Spanish-language address on behalf of her party, which has sought to make border security a central issue. Ms. De La Cruz is the first Republican and the first woman to represent her district, which includes a sliver of the border with Mexico along the Rio Grande Valley.
