How to Watch Biden's First Presidential Speech to Congress Without Cable

It's time for those who don't have cable TV to watch Joe Biden's first Presidential Address to Congress online or on a news network. The President will address a joint session of Congress, similar to the General State of the Union address, as he approaches his 100th day in office.

This is Biden's first address to Congress. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi formally invited Biden to address Congress, writing in a letter that she hoped he would "share his vision for addressing the challenges and opportunities of this historic moment."

Biden will reflect on his first 99 days in office, highlighting progress on the rollout of the coronavirus vaccine, pressing for expanded health care and gun safety legislation, calling for police reform, and outlining the background of the $2.3 trillion infrastructure bill the administration announced earlier this month. The House hopes to pass the bill by July 4.

The president's speech will include COVID-19 protocols and restrictions. House and Senate members cannot invite guests. Biden himself rarely invites guests, with the exception of first lady Jill Biden.

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Biden's presidential address to Congress online, live, and without cable.
