A first year, first term President never has a State of the Union address. It's just an address of a joint session of Congress. It is strange that he's not doing one of those, as they always happened in February of the first year for past presidents.
The State of the Union does not happen, however, until a full year has been completed, which would be January of 2022 for alleged-POTUS Biden.
Call him out, yes, but at least call him out correctly.
Trump waited until Feb 28th in 2017 when he gave his first SOTU address.
President Trump's first state of the Union Address was on January 30th, 2018.
On February 28th, 2017, President Trump addressed a joint session of Congress and delivered a speech. First term Presidents are unable to give a SOTU in their first year because they were not the President the year before so it is outside the scope of their knowledge to give a State of the Union address.
And again, just to re-iterate: It is a big deal that Biden is not giving an address before a joint session of Congress in his first year. It's an expected norm. He clearly had it on his schedule and now they're lying about that, too.
But if you're going to call him out for it, at least be correct and don't call it a SOTU because it's impossible for it to be a SOTU because it's not a SOTU.
I stand corrected! Thank you. I just googled it.
