Joe Biden

President Biden is expected to make his first visit to East Palestine Friday. Some residents are critical that it's taken more than a year since the Norfolk Southern derailment for him to visit.

East Palestine residents and other environmental activists sent a letter to President Joe Biden and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan on Wednesday outlining recommendations for actions in East Palestine.

The president leaned on self-deprecation at the Washington, D.C., soiree and took jabs at Fox News and Don Lemon. Headliner comedian Roy Wood Jr. roasted scandal-plagued media figures and politicians.

In announcing his bid in a video Tuesday, President Biden says he cast his decision to run again as a fight for personal freedoms.

The Department of Health and Human Services will propose an amended definition of "lawful presence" to include recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, the White House said.

The president said he's already used the "full extent" of his executive authority to combat gun violence. GOP lawmakers argue it's premature to press bills before the facts are out.

The results from a biopsy done on a skin lesion removed from President Biden's chest last month confirmed that the growth was basal cell carcinoma – a type of skin cancer that does not tend to spread.

President Biden is delivering his State of the Union address on Tuesday night at 9 p.m. ET. The speech is expected to highlight the strength of the economy and past legislative wins.

The speech represents a chance for Biden to address the nation on where he thinks the country stands, where it is headed and what his priorities are ahead. Here, several issue areas to look out for.
