First lady's virtual joint address guests spotlight Biden administration priorities

(CNN)When President Joe Biden delivers his address to a joint session of Congress Wednesday night, first lady Jill Biden will forgo the traditional set of guests in the first lady's viewing box due to social distancing constraints in the House chamber amid the coronavirus pandemic. Instead, she will virtually host a group of guests, inviting them to a virtual reception and remote viewing.

These five guests will spotlight the key themes of Biden's remarks. Each one will "personify some of the issues or policies that will be addressed by the President in his speech," the office of the first lady said in a statement Wednesday.

Here are the five guests and a little about their stories:
