Biden’s address Tuesday night was the 99th to be delivered in person, but was among the few that were unalloyed campaign stump speeches
With worries about inflation persisting, with sizable chunks of his Republican rivals concerned about the extent of American support of Ukraine in its war with Russia, and with remnants of a Chinese balloon that travelled across the continental United States being scavenged from the Atlantic Ocean deeps, President Joe Biden in his State of the Union remarks nonetheless projected buoyant optimism and a prideful sense of achievement.
The political scientists Donna Hoffman of Northern Iowa University and Alison Howard of Dominican University of California have found that, since Lyndon Johnson’s 1965 address, only a quarter of the presidential proposals aired in these annual addresses have been fully enacted. And though only a fifth of Americans want him to run again, according to the latest YouGov poll, Mr. Biden is plowing ahead, and his remarks suggested that he will campaign as an effective executive open to seeking bipartisan comity.
He did manoeuvre Republicans to support his priority of preserving Social Security, the income supplement for older Americans, and Medicare, the health care plan for Americans older than 65. The preparation of these annual messages is a Washington preoccupation that dominates capital life for months; lobbyists and bureaucrats alike work tirelessly to insert, or preserve, even a phrase in the remarks that they can point to as evidence of presidential favour.
