Scalise won’t attend Biden’s first joint address to Congress

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) isn’t planning to attend President Biden‘s first joint address to Congress on Wednesday and will instead give his ticket to another GOP lawmaker.

Scalise told reporters at the House GOP retreat in Orlando, Fla., on Monday that seating for lawmakers will be limited and that he wants to give an opportunity to first-term Republicans who have never attended a presidential address to Congress.
