President Joseph R. Biden will deliver his first State of the Union address at 9 p.m. tonight, EST.

Each year, the president formally addresses Congress and the people of the United States, outlining critical issues confronting the country and how the administration proposes to deal with them. 

Most people, even though they may not have formal credentials as political scientists or policy makers, are keenly aware of the problems we face as a nation and what can be done to solve them.

What, would you say is the state of the nation?
