Biden could be the first president to deliver a State of the Union address during a shutdown
==========
President Biden's State of the Union address, scheduled for March 7, could take place during a government shutdown. The address falls between two critical government funding deadlines, and if Congress fails to pass a spending measure, about 20% of the federal government would run out of money. This would be the first time a US president delivers a State of the Union address during a government shutdown. There are concerns about the message this would send both domestically and internationally. The White House has not responded to inquiries about whether the president would consider delaying his remarks. Republican lawmaker Scott Perry has called on his leadership to rescind the invitation for political reasons. However, House Speaker Mike Johnson insists that Biden's address will proceed as planned.
