Tonight, Thursday, March 7th, is the State of the Union Address so lets keep everything related to it (including the Republican response) confined to this thread.

This is probably one of the most important speeches Biden can give this year. He has to come across as “Present”, not just “President”.

This will set the tone for the campaign the rest of the year and will be second only to the Democratic Convention speech in August for visibility.

Watch it live here:

Or through your favorite news source.

The Republican response will be delivered by Senator Katie Britt of Alabama:

Very good speech!

I encourage you to watch the video and not just read the transcript. Reading it doesn’t carry just how breathless and borderline weepy her delivery is.

    I disagree with the logic of complaining about inflation then suggesting all of the money should’ve been distributed to individuals.

    This is more of an emotional argument than logical…

        Considering the literal hundreds of other poorly reasoned comments you make on here…

        Biden was never a progressive president. He wasn’t running on anything close to a progressive platform. I’m not sure why in this, or literally a hundred of your other comments here that get responded to by others, is still a surprise.

          Well, you could have read the article and gotten a great explanation…

          Instead you choose to hurl insults, weird how often the people blindly supporting Biden do that.

          Have a nice life bud, life’s to short for that type of discourse about something so serious.

            This article is from 2022. It’s practically ancient in terms of very-short-term economic analysis.

            I highly encourage you to look at more recent data.
