Senator Dan Sullivan called the address the most divisive he’d seen during his ten years in the Senate, while Lisa Murkowski called it the most partisan she’d seen during her tenure.
Published: Mar. 8, 2024 at 7:09 PM AKSTFAIRBANKS, Alaska - President Joe Biden delivered his annual State of the Union address on Thursday, March 7.
The address, which lasted around 68 minutes, covered a variety of topics, from immigration, to crime, to the economy. Happening during a presidential election year, the 46th president took the opportunity to paint his presidency as overseeing an economic recovery. He also contrasted himself with former president Donald Trump, currently the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination.As has become typical, the address was repeatedly punctuated by applause from some audience members... and outbursts from others.
“The issue facing our nation isn’t how old we are. It’s how old are our ideas. Hate, anger, revenge, retribution are the oldest of ideas, but you can’t lead America with ancient ideas that’ll only take us back. To lead America the land of possibilities, you need a vision of the future, and what can and should be done. Tonight you’ve heard mine. I see a future where defending democracy, you don’t diminish it.
