Biden delivers feisty State of the Union with eye on Trump
President Biden delivered a feisty State of the Union address by touting his policies and tweaking Donald Trump. Facing public doubts about his age and fitness, the president was animated during his hour-long speech. He warned that democracy is under attack, he renewed calls for higher taxes on the wealthy, and he doubled down on his support for abortion access. Mr. Biden didn’t mention Donald Trump by name, but he said “my predecessor” 13 times as he drew a contrast with his likely 2024 opponent.
