President Joe Biden confidently delivered his State of the Union Address on Tuesday night, to the approving cheers of Democrats while Republican lawmakers remained mostly quiet, sometimes heckling the president.
Biden spoke on a wide range of topics, from unemployment being the lowest it has been in decades and promising a "major surge" in investment in infrastructure, to committing to cutting out "junk fees" in travel and credit cards.
At times, Biden's speech highlighted the stark contrast between himself and the Republicans. One of the Republican's House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, could be seen squirming in his seat as well as trying to shush those in his caucus who heckled the president. This behavior showed how weak the Republican party has become in the face of any new ideas.
The midterm elections back in 2018 showed that the American people aren't responding to the Republicans' tactics and Biden's speech continued to reinforce that idea.
