Biden will deliver his first State of the Union address, and plans to tout progress in the U.S. even as Russia's attack on Ukraine creates new challenges.
This is CNBC's live blog following President Joe Biden's first State of the Union address.
After days of working with allies to try to hamstring Russia's economy and offer defensive aid to Ukraine, the president is expected to condemn a war that has isolated Moscow from much of the globe. He will also look to paint his first year in office as a success. He will likely describe a country that has pulled through the worst of the coronavirus pandemic and the economic damage it caused.
Those results came hours before the joint session of Congress was set to convene at the U.S. Capitol for President Joe Biden's speech. The Capitol's attending physician, Brian Monahan, told members' offices on Sunday that wearing masks during the address would no longer be required.
