President Joe Biden will address a joint session of Congress for the first time this evening and is expected to tout his administration's accomplishments within his first 100 days in office and unveil key components of his next legislative push.

Biden is expected to lay out parts of his American Families Plan, a roughly $1.5 trillion legislative proposal to invest hundreds of billions of dollars into key Democratic priorities on education, child care and paid leave.

The plan is the second part of a two-part proposal to help the nation's economy recover from the coronavirus pandemic.

The President is set to tout his administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed more than 570,000 Americans.

Because of coronavirus restrictions, Biden's address to Congress is set to look unlike any other in modern American history.

There will be a limited number of lawmakers attending the speech, and Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will both be wearing masks as they sit behind Biden. It will be the first time two women occupy the seats behind the President at a joint address to Congress.
