During his State of the Union address, President Biden made a strong distinction between his administration and that of former President Trump, without mentioning Trump by name. Instead, he referred to him as “my predecessor” multiple times, emphasizing issues related to democracy, the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, and threats to abortion rights. Biden’s speech, lasting just over an hour, echoed campaign themes, including his accomplishments over the past three years and future plans.
Biden criticized Trump’s stance on NATO and addressed the tragic killing of University of Georgia student Laken Riley by a Venezuelan migrant, expressing sympathy to her parents. He further discussed gun violence, healthcare, and called for a bipartisan effort on border security, referencing a stalled Senate bill. The president also pointed out the age concerns voiced by voters but countered with his vision for America’s future.
The address touched on foreign policy, particularly the Israel-Hamas war, with Biden advocating for more aid to Gaza and the return of hostages. Domestically, he proposed raising the corporate minimum tax, restoring the child tax credit, and banning assault weapons. Biden ended his speech by rejecting narratives of resentment and retribution, advocating for values of freedom and democracy.
