When President Joe Biden takes to the podium before a joint session of Congress Tuesday night, it will be the first time since Spring 2020 that all members of the House and Senate will gather for what typically has been an annual event.

And he'll have a lot to address.

Chief among the topics is likely to be Ukraine, where there is bipartisan support for aid in their fight against Russia.

COVID-19 will remain a key point as well, even as cases drop.

That leads directly into the economy, where job reports remain positive but inflation sits near record highs.

Biden is also sure to touch on infrastructure following the passage last year of his trillion-dollar bipartisan package.

And you can expect to hear about pieces from what was known as the "Build Back Better" bill the nearly $2 trillion social and climate package which failed to garner the support of all democrats.

But other than light anti-virus measures, this State of the Union will end up being different.

Fencing around the U.S. Capitol is back up and the U.S. National Guard is on standby due in part to safety concerns in the aftermath of the January 6th Capitol Riot.

And while there are no specific or credible threats, there is a convoy of trucks heading to Washington to protest, though officials aren't concerned about serious security issues with that.
