Pew has Trump approval down to 29%, with Trump approval among GOP+leaners at just 60%; A few caveats, fwiw: --the average is still in the mid-30s; ABC/Post this AM has Trump at a healthier 38% with 79% approval among GOP --the trendline is overwhelmingly against the president

We may not get a conventional "farewell address" from the outgoing president, but one custom is returning: the traditional speech to a joint session by the new president (in lieu of a State of the Union address)
Biden says he plans to make a speech to Joint Session of Congress next month on his “Build Back Better” plan. Building on the proposals he is outlining tonight.
