Speaker Mike Johnson on Saturday formally invited President Joe Biden to deliver the final State of the Union address of his term on March 7.

“In this moment of great challenge for our country, it is my solemn duty to extend this invitation … so that you may fulfill your obligation under the U.S. constitution to report on the state of our union,” Johnson wrote in a letter to the president.

March 7 is considered relatively late in the calendar for the annual address to a joint session of Congress. Biden’s 2023 address fell on Feb 7. In 2022, he delivered his address March 1. Super Tuesday falls March 5 this year.
