President Joe Biden’s address to Congress will fall on his 99th day in office as he looks to claim progress during his first 100 days.

Republicans say pieces of Biden’s American Jobs Plan are ‘non-starters’ for bipartisan support. That includes undoing Trump’s 2017 tax cuts.

The White House is comparing President Joe Biden’s infrastructure proposal to the construction of interstate highways and the Space Race.

‘I don’t need to wait another minute, let alone an hour, to take common-sense steps that will save the lives in the future,’ the president said.

Biden will say America will start getting closer to normal by the Fourth of July if “we all do our part” in the coming weeks.

‘The president will look forward, highlighting the role that Americans will play in beating the virus,’ the White House said.

‘There should be no intimidation, no coercion, no threats, no anti-union propaganda,’ Biden said.
