MAGA Mike Johnson hands Trump an assist by delaying Biden speech

On the third anniversary of the attempted coup at the nation's Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) finally extended an invitation to President Joe Biden to deliver the annual State of the Union address to Congress and the nation.

For this year's address, coming in a presidential election year, Johnson has pushed the date well beyond the traditional time frame for a national address, scheduling it for days after Super Tuesday.

In his formal invitation to the president, Johnson wrote, "It is my solemn duty to invite President Biden to address a Joint Session of Congress on March 7th to report on the state of our union."

Biden should kill two birds with one stone: (1)show his contempt for Johnson's clumsy political grandstanding by ignoring the invitation and (2) get a jump on Super Tuesday by having Chuck Schumer extend an invitation to give the speech in the Senate chamber in early February. It won't be the first time the Democrats have outmaneuvered in-over-his-head Johnson.
