“President Joe Biden faces a pivotal State of the Union address Thursday as he looks to silence skeptics about his ability to keep serving, convince restless Americans of a strong economy and reestablish the stakes of a likely rematch against Donald Trump,” USA Today reports.
“In what could be his final State of the Union address, the moment could not be much bigger for Biden, who is saddled with challenges at home and abroad.”
New York Times: “Donald Trump is a dire threat to democracy and Americans’ freedoms. How fine a point Mr. Biden puts on this message in the State of the Union is a different question. It would break with decades of political tradition to attack a campaign rival by name during the address, but Mr. Biden and allied Democrats have argued throughout his campaign that 2024 may be an inflection point that calls for unusual measures.”
