Watch: Joe Biden’s State of the Union address
Показать описание
Joe Biden will tout his bipartisan legislative record and hope to build off positive economic signs as he delivers his State of the Union address before a newly divided Congress on Tuesday night.
The US president hopes to make the case to Americans that their lives have been improved over his first two years in the prime time address that may mark the unofficial start of his 2024 presidential campaign.
Rather than laying out major new policy proposals, Mr Biden was expected to devote much of his speech to celebrating his biggest legislative victories to date - from improving the nation’s infrastructure, tackling drug prices, combating climate change, tightening gun laws and protecting same-sex marriage.
But the lead up to the US president's speech has been overshadowed by fresh tensions with Beijing, after a Chinese surveillance balloon floated over the US last week.
The speech comes as the president is honing his pitch to voters ahead of his expected re-election announcement in the coming weeks, despite voter frustrations about the direction of the nation.
White House aides said Mr Biden hoped to confront pessimism in the country - with Americans still remaining gloomy about the economy, despite some signs inflation is easing.
