Washington, DC – President Joe Biden launched a scorching attack on his “dangerous” election rival Donald Trump in Thursday’s State of the Union address, delivering a barnstorming performance to make his case for four more years.
In one of the most direct attacks in memory by a president on an election challenger during the State of the Union, Biden never said Trump’s name but instead blasted him 13 times as merely “my predecessor.”Trump’s recent comments calling the US commitment to NATO into doubt were “bowing down to a Russian leader” he said, before vowing to cheers from Democrats: “I will not bow down.”
Democrats feted him with chants of “four more years” and Vice President Kamala Harris repeatedly rose to her feet to applaud Biden from her seat behind him, while Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson shook his head. In his speech, Biden slammed Republican abortion opponents, saying they have “no clue about the power of women in America,” in what Democrats see as a key vote-winning issue.
He called for an “immediate ceasefire” and announced that he has ordered the US military to set up a port on Gaza’s coast to bring in aid, while promising “no US boots will be on the ground.”
