President Joe Biden gave his first address to Congress this week shy of his first 100 days in office. As Biden and first lady Dr. Jill Biden head to Georgia to commemorate the milestone, they would also be visiting former president and first lady Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter.
The White House said Thursday that the Bidens would be visiting the former president and first lady during their visit to Georgia. Biden would be attending a drive-in rally in Atlanta to mark his first 100 days in office. Biden will now add in a visit to his predecessor, who was unable to travel to Washington for Biden’s inauguration due to the pandemic.
Both couples have now been fully vaccinated and have also been attending church services in person. Biden was a longtime ally of Carter during his term as president. Carter is also the longest-lived president in the country’s history.
Biden gave his first address to Congress this week that did not have as many lawmakers and guests in attendance due to COVID-19 protocols. In what was an optimistic address, Biden touted the administration’s achievements so far, including the number of COVID-19 vaccine doses getting administered since taking office.
Biden also unveiled his next major piece of legislation that he hopes to pass this year. The $1.8 trillion package to provide for child care, universal preschool, two years of free community college, and monthly payments to parents.
Biden also noted that Americans should still remain careful regardless of the number of vaccinations in the country. “There’s still more work to do to beat this virus. We can’t let our guard down now. But tonight, I can say because of you -- the American people -- our progress these past 100 days against one of the worst pandemics in history is one of the greatest logistical achievements our country has ever seen,” said Biden.
Even with the lesser number of guests, including Supreme Court justices and Cabinet members, Biden continued to express optimism for the country, mentioning the January 6 insurrection. Biden also went to reassure US allies, whose relations with the US had become strained under his predecessor, that their countries will work together to overcome international crises.
