State of the Union Date Set? Speaker Says Tentatively Feb. 24

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson announced a target date for President Joe Biden's annual address to Congress. On Wednesday, Johnson said he expects the State of the Union speech to happen on February 24. This major political event is a constitutional requirement where the president reports on the country's condition. However, the date is not yet official. Johnson noted it is "tentative," meaning it could still change. The speech has not been formally scheduled. The Speaker's statement provides the first clear indication of timing for the high-profile event. Final plans require agreement between congressional leaders and the White House.
