President Biden’s second State of the Union address was partly a victory lap and partly an acknowledgment of how far he still has to go.
his rowdy, ungovernable caucus not to cause a scene at the address, if only to allow him to project a veneer of respectability. But such propriety was just too much for the GOP, as members like—empowered by McCarthy—booed and jeered at some of the president’s lines, and heckled him en masse over the border and other matters.
He was ostensibly talking about the next two years, in hopes that the new Republican House majority will at least cooperate on matters like the debt ceiling and support for Ukraine, which began mostly as a bipartisan matter but has been on shaky ground since the Republican takeover of the lower chamber. However, the president was also speaking, implicitly, about the bid for a second term he’s expected to formally announce in the coming months.
It remains to be seen if his address Tuesday evening—by turns conciliatory and strident, with zingers and olive branches offered up in equal measure—will allay those concerns. But it was as commanding a speech as he’s given during his presidency—one that touched on traditional Biden themes of unity and hope and stability, while acknowledging the particular challenges those values face for at least the near future.
