This year, President Biden was the first president in a State of the Union to say the words IVF, cease-fire, fetus and impersonation. In his previous addresses to Congress, Biden had already said cybersecurity 2021, okay 2021, LGBTQ 2021, insulin 2022, ironworkers 2023 and skyline 2023.So far (confessing I didn't watch it and haven't read the transcript yet) it appears the address was less about the state of the union and more about kicking off the president's re-election campaign.
The Times leads its headline story:
In a raucous State of the Union address, the president’s goal was to reassure Americans that at 81 he is ready for a second term.While the Washington Post echoes (almost literally echoes):
President Biden delivered a fiery State of the Union address Thursday night, making a forceful case for a second term…And in other news, we should have a fairly nice 50-ish day here.
