Playbook: “Biden spent the weekend at Camp David working through his State of the Union address ahead of Thursday’s joint session. He’ll likely have no bigger single opportunity to command the attention of the American public ahead of November’s election.”
“The stakes for Biden and the aides assembling the speech, led by deputy chief of staff Bruce Reed, are enormous. Not only does Biden have to deliver the usual laundry list of goals and accomplishments for his administration, but he’s also facing tremendous pressure to address the mounting concerns about his age and fitness for the job with a vibrant performance.”
“The details of the speech are being closely held, and there’s no telling whether Biden can manage a breakout moment — such as last year’s jab at the GOP over Medicare and Social Security.”
