That's not true. Traditionally the new president still gives a speech to congress in February, but it's often called something else. It's breaking a norm to not have a speech at all. For all the hand wringing the left did about Trump breaking norms, they sure seem ok with things like this. Biden's admin even said they would schedule it after the covid bill passed but now they're mum on the subject.
The new president doesn't give SOTU speech in his first year. Not protecting Joe, just giving you the info.
