CBSN
Washington — House Speaker Mike Johnson on Saturday invited President Trump to address a joint session of Congress in March, marking his first chance to address both chambers since he returned to office.
"It is my distinct honor and great privilege to invite President Donald Trump to address a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, to share his America First vision for our future," Johnson wrote in a social media post announcing the invitation.
Presidents typically address a joint session of Congress early on in their tenure to outline a vision or agenda, before delivering State of the Union addresses to lawmakers in subsequent years. Johnson praised Mr. Trump in his letter to the president, saying thanks to his " strong leadership and bold action" over the last week, that vision has begun to take shape.
