How to watch and listen to President Biden’s State of the Union speech
Biden will address the nation starting at 9 p.m. ET tonight.
President Joe Biden, joined by Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., delivers remarks during a Joint Session of Congress Wednesday, April 28, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
While Biden will likely call for action on guns and policing, the divided Congress he’ll be speaking to makes it exceedingly unlikely that big legislative bills will pass — other than must-pass debt ceiling and funding bills.
He’ll also address top foreign policy issues like Russia’s war in Ukraine and the economic and national security threat posed by China — a threat underscored by the recent the Chinese surveillance balloon shot down by the U.S. over the Atlantic Ocean.
The address begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. You can watch Biden and listen to NPR’s special coverage at the livestream link below. You can also listen to NPR’s broadcast at the audio link above — and you can follow along with live updates throughout night at NPR.org.

Following Biden’s address, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders will deliver the Republican response. Arizona Congressman Juan Ciscomani is also giving a Spanish-language response.
