WAMC's Dr. Alan Chartock reviews President Joe Biden's joint address to Congress Wednesday night, and considers whether the Democrat can bridge the political divide. Dr. Chartock also comments on South Carolina Senator Tim Scott's response to the speech. Also in the headlines: federal agents raided Rudy Giuliani's home and office Wednesday, as the Justice Department continues to investigate Giuliani's business dealings and ties to Ukraine. 

Dr. Alan Chartock is professor emeritus at the University at Albany. He hosts the weekly Capitol Connection series, heard on public radio stations around New York. The program, for almost 12 years, highlighted interviews with Governor Mario Cuomo and now continues with conversations with state political leaders. Dr. Chartock also appears each week on The Media Project and The Roundtable and offers commentary on Morning Edition, weekdays at 7:40 a.m.
