WASHINGTON - The economy, the pandemic, and Ukraine. Those are just some of the topics President Joe Biden will discuss in his State of the Union Address Tuesday night.He will highlight the passage of the bipartisan infrastructure law, but also continue his push for social reforms, aimed at lowering the cost of prescription drugs, health care premiums, and child care.It’s still on the minds of Democrats and Republicans the Gray Television Washington News Bureau spoke with.
“The first thing I would expect to hear from Joe Biden is something along the lines of, ‘Folks, the last two years have been maybe the toughest two years in my lifetime,’” Sen. Tim Kaine told us. “We have come a long way during the pandemic,” Rep. Greg Murphy said. “There have been some great things done, and there have been some difficult things done.”
Lawmakers are also closely watching the developments in Ukraine and how President Biden is responding.“I believe the idea of sanctioning Putin…is still going to be a lot more effective if we do it in concert with our European allies,” said Sen. Mark Warner .“I do not think that the sanctions will work, as long as you’re taking potential military action off the table,” Rep. Austin Scott told us.
