Is there going to be a State of the Union address?

I've heard nothing about it and I must say it's kinda odd. I was looking forward to seeing two women sitting behind the president of the United States. How come there's no news about it?

3. Why would Joe Manchin give the SOTU?

Oh, I get it, you're insulting the President and Democratic leadership and implying they can't govern! That's so funny!!!!

2. There aren't usually SotU addresses in inaugural years.

The inaugural address serves as such.

4. There is usually a Presidential Address to Congress

Covid Protocols in the House has made it difficult to map out how it would work and not become a super spreader event.

There was talk of an Address after the Covid bill passing, but not.

5. Well they were all there during the counting of the electoral votes

I would think with everyone wearing masks, it would be okay. Also, they are nearly all vaccinated as well.

6. They were not all there during the count, actually it was not even close

The Speaker was trying to clear the Floor in the beginning of the joint session in an attempt to get the number below 100 of the 541 that hav ether ability to be on the Floor.

7. There are over 100 House Members who have not yet been vaccinated.

You could guess many of them.
