U.S. President Joe Biden is set to use his State of the Union address Thursday to promote his vision for a second term to a dispirited electorate that questions whether he's up to the job and to warn that GOP front-runner Donald Trump would be a dangerous alternative.
President Joe Biden is set to use his State of the Union address Thursday to promote his vision for a second term to a dispirited electorate that questions whether he's up to the job and to warn that GOP front-runner Donald Trump would be a dangerous alternative.
Biden spent last weekend working on the speech at the Camp David presidential retreat with his closest aides and presidential historian Jon Meacham. He was expected to keep fine-tuning it right into speech day, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. Still, said, Michael Waldman, a speechwriter in the Clinton White House, “It may not be as big as Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl, but it’s a big audience for a political speech.”
“Right now, our commander-in-chief is not in command. The free world deserves better than a dithering and diminished leader," Britt plans to say, according to excerpts released Thursday evening."America deserves leaders who recognize that secure borders, stable prices, safe streets, and a strong defense are the cornerstones of a great nation.”
“The more people see him doing his job, the better,” Messina said. “And the more people see him out there being the president of the United States, the better off we are.” “America is in decline, nothing he says tomorrow night is going to change that,” Johnson said Wednesday. The president will also issue an emphatic call for lawmakers to pass sorely needed defense assistance for Ukraine. Acute ammunition shortages have allowed Russia to retake the offensive in the 2-year-old war.
Access to abortion and fertility treatments also is expected to be a key component of Biden's speech, especially in light of a controversial ruling from Alabama’s Supreme Court that has upended access to in vitro fertilization treatment in the state. Going into the State of the Union, Biden also has raised the problems of “shrinkflation” – companies putting fewer pretzels in the jar and less yogurt in sealed cups — and so-called “junk fees” on services. Neither is a prime driver of inflation, but the White House hopes to show consumers that Biden is fighting for them.
