Lawmakers Prepare for Biden's State of the Union Address | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The US House Chamber will be packed tonight. Lawmakers from both the House and Senate are on hand for President Biden's State of the Union Address. Republicans and Democrats have very different expectations on what they expect to hear. The architect of the Capitol has constructed a seven foot fence around the entire US Capitol complex and some roads around the Capitol are blocked off. While Democrats say the president will outline his accomplishments and the direction for the future, Republicans say they don't expect much. Representative Jake LaTurner says, "What I'm hoping to hear is for the President to level with the American people. He needs to come clean and admit the economy's in rough shape and that more federal spending isn't going to solve the problem." Representative Stephanie Bice says, "I want to hear reality, I want to hear talk about some of the challenges the country is facing, economic challenges, the challenges at the border My fear is he will sugarcoat the true state of the union and not tell the truth." Democrats say President Biden will use the address to showcase his accomplishments, and reset his agenda.
