He’ll also be trying Tuesday night to overcome pessimism in the country and concerns about his own leadership. His speech before a politically divided Congress comes as the nation struggles with economic uncertainty, a wearying war in Ukraine and growing tensions with China.

It’s Biden’s first speech to Congress since Republicans took control of the House in the midterm elections.
