US House Speaker Mike Johnson invited President Joe Biden to deliver his annual State of the Union address on March 7.
Johnson, Republican of Los Angeles, formally invited Biden to address a joint session of Congress in a letter sent to the White House on Saturday.
Johnson said he was calling on Biden "at this moment of great challenge for the country."
This will be Johnson's first State of the Union address as Speaker of the House of Representatives, as he traditionally sits behind the President and to his left during the speech to Congress.
