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.

Republican response from Katie Britt here:
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.
It’s just dumb campaign promises that he cannot and will not deliver on. If he could do any of this he would have already done it
It’s what could get done if Republicans got the fuck out of the way.
Dude is sharp, it’s no comparison really between Biden and the “look having nuclear guy”. Im done giving the people “worried” about Bidens mind the time of day.
He’s had a couple of mis-speaks but that’s because he’s going too fast (!)
His stutter and mispeaks are not off-putting to me at all. He is obviously mentally fit, this isn’t how someone with mental deficiencies sounds.
Look he’s old. I completely agree it’s a concern for >70% of Americans. Both are geriatrics with clear issues.
But one is morally sound. The other is not. One has smart cabinet members and advisors. The other has his fucking kids in a blatant act of nepotism and crooks.
I really wish Biden would’ve turned around to Mike Johnson when he was talking about January 6th and ask, “what’s the matter with you, man? Why aren’t you clapping? So you support a fascist takeover? Of course you do…”
Also turn around and say, 'it’s this man here who is blocking aid to Ukraine while women and children die in Ukraine"
Dude, he was squirming hard in that chair lmao.
Love it, but I say twist the blade lol.
