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:

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.

    Some people recharge by socializing.

    And hopefully you’re not saying that as a thinly veiled comment associated to the “not fit for president” foreign narrative operations.

      No, I’m saying this as someone who used to teach for a living. :) Extended talking and working a room is exhausting!

        Friend, thank you for your service. Teaching is hard work!

        (And sorry about my accusations; there’s so much disinformation going on these days…)
