Marjorie Taylor Green heckles Biden as president challenges GOP
President Joe Biden has delivered his annual State of the Union address to Congress.
Among the topics he covered: the “spy balloon” diplomatic row with China; his plan to increase taxes on billionaires and corporations; police reform in the wake of the killing of Tyre Nichols; and the wars on cancer and the illegal fentanyl trade.
Mr Biden highlighted the policy successes of his administration’s first two years and while appearing feisty and combative at times responding to heckles and boos from Republican lawmakers.
There were bipartisan moments of applause over police reform and Ukraine, and the president made efforts to highlight moments in which both parties have worked together.
Despite success during the 2022 midterm elections – where Democrats picked up a seat in the Senate and staved off a red wave in the House of Representatives – polls continue to show the nation is less than excited about the prospect of a second term for the incumbent Mr Biden, who turned 80 in November but is considering a 2024 run.
