WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden is expected to address the National Prayer Breakfast, a Washington tradition that calls on political combatants to set aside their differences for one morning.
The breakfast, set for Thursday, has sparked controversy in the past, particularly when President Donald Trump used last year's installment to slam his political opponents and question their faith.
Some liberals have viewed the event warily because of the conservative faith-based group that is behind it. Still, Biden campaigned for the White House as someone who could unify Americans, and the breakfast will give the nation's second Catholic president a chance to talk about his vision of faith.
