US President Joe Biden used his first joint address to Congress to plead to dozens of lawmakers in the room to work together. In his address, which came on the eve of his 100th day in office, he also detailed a $4 trillion economic plan he said would make the country more competitive with China. FRANCE 24 brought the speech to you live in this blog.

Biden touted his administration's Covid-19 response, his efforts to end economic inequality in the United States and unveiled a $1.8 trillion American Families Plan that would expand access to education.

You can revisit some of his remarks on the live blog below, which is now closed.
