President Joe Biden’s State of the Union (SOTU) address gave Americans a glimpse into what could be the Democratic Party’s plan to take on midterms and the 2024 election.
The president’s speech saw significant departures from previous party rhetoric around COVID-19, immigration and police, and subtle pivots on issues that have dragged his poll numbers.
Biden’s promise of death for the unvaccinated over Christmas became a plea for schools to remain open and in person. Inflation, for Biden, became a cause for buying American, a slogan that often polls well.
Biden seemed to take note of Republican’s election win in Virginia, where former Democratic Governor Terry McAuliffe had made former President Donald Trump a centerpiece of his campaign. The president didn’t mention Trump by name a single time. And the January 6 riot — a subject Democrats often bring up and focus on — played no role in Biden’s SOTU address.
Throughout his speech, which began with lengthy remarks regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the president mentioned a few new policy plans. Largely, however, he opted to tout his administration’s already-existing agenda and plans, trying to paint them in a fresh light for tired Americans.
