President Biden set to address the nation in State of the Union speech

Published: 07 March 2024 at 02:33

President Joe Biden will use his State of the Union address to highlight his achievements in infrastructure and manufacturing, advocate for aid to Ukraine, tougher migration rules, restoring access to abortion, and lowering drug prices. The 81-year-old president aims to address concerns about his age and job performance while contrasting himself with potential 2024 rival Donald Trump. Biden\'s speech is viewed as a continuation of his conversations with Americans during his travels. The address comes amidst a historically ineffective Congress, where funding bills and foreign assistance remain deadlocked.
