State of the Union or Campaign Speech?

Episode Summary

On this episode of the RealClearPolitics Takeaway, we look back at Tuesday’s State of the Union address from President Biden and forward to how it predicts the political challenges for the new session of Congress and beyond. President Biden went into the State of the Union with polls showing a majority of Americans thought he had accomplished little to nothing since being elected, his primary goal appears to have been to try and turn those numbers around. Was he successful? Has the State of the Union simply become a campaign speech? How will Republicans in Congress respond to the agenda laid out by the President? Joining host, John Sorensen are Carl Cannon, Washington Bureau Chief, Philip Wegmann, White House correspondent, and Susan Crabtree, political correspondent for RealClearPolitics.
