Biden uses feisty State of the Union to contrast with Trump, sell voters on a second term - eviltoast
Biden's third such address will be something of an on-the-job interview, as the nation's oldest president tries to quell voter concerns about his age and job performance while sharpening the contrast with Donald Trump.

That was one of the more interesting SOTU addresses I’ve seen. Personally, I think he said most of the things that needed to be said, and he said them reasonably well. I’m sure he’s going to get some flack for attacking Trump directly (though not by name), but I was frankly glad to see it. Doing otherwise makes it seem like it’s just your typical election/political disagreements, but we’re past that now.

      What people also forget is that the last election was campaigned during Covid. This will be his last campaign and he is one of the best retail politicians ever. While Trump can organize events, Joe will be pressing the flesh and eating ice cream.
