The president also faulted some Republicans and his “predecessor,” former President Donald Trump, for attempting to “bury the truth” about the Jan. 6 insurrection.
“This is the moment to speak the truth and to bury the lies,” Biden said. “Here's the simple truth: You can't love your country only when you win.”
Biden’s March 7 address comes as he seeks reelection against Trump, the likely Republican nominee. It also comes five months into a deadly war on Gaza and just more than two years after Russia invaded Ukraine – both foreign wars that have tested his relationship with allies and Congress. This is Biden’s third State of the Union address and the last of this term.
Biden opened his State of the Union remarks by invoking attacks on democracy and rhetorically connected assaults on democracy to attacks on democracies abroad, such as Ukraine.
