WATCH LIVE: President Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union Address | PBS NewsHour Special Coverage

President Joe Biden will deliver his State of the Union address March 7 as he gears up for a reelection bid that seems likely to be a rematch with his last election opponent.

Biden has so far won Democratic primary contests in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina by large margins. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has continued to dominate the Republican Party contests, even as he balances campaigning with criminal and civil legal cases, including one focused on attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The president’s biggest annual moment on the national stage is a chance to stress his priorities, make his case for another term, as well as combat headwinds or negative perceptions of his leadership. After Biden speaks, Republicans will counter his arguments with a televised response.

Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama will deliver the Republican response to the State of the Union. Britt is the youngest female senator, at age 41. Nicolas O’Rourke, a councilman from Philadelphia, will give the progressive response.

PBS NewsHour’s special coverage of the 2024 State of the Union will begin at 9 p.m. EST on March 7.
