state of the union address
Biden came out swinging in his last speech to a joint session of Congress before the 2024 election.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was on nonstop shushing duty.
On trade and corporate power, unions and the safety net, Biden signaled a shift in the party’s center of gravity.
The Arkansas governor also made a case for generational change in both parties in the official GOP response to Biden's address to Congress.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
At a jobs event in Ohio, Trump went full campaign mode, delivering a speech aimed directly at his base.
The speech was seen as focusing largely on immigration and the economy.
"It doesn’t matter how many people watched. But what does matter is that the president needs to lie about it."
This time, it's all about State of the Union viewing figures.
"The state of my union is strong because this show is all about love and inclusiveness."
“I know we can’t just spin our wheels for four years waiting for Donald Trump," one said.
