Biden Says In State Of Union That US Is 'Unbowed, Unbroken'

LOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is using his State of the Union address Tuesday night to call on Republicans to work with him to “finish the job” of rebuilding the economy and uniting the nation as he seeks to overcome pessimism in the country and navigate political divisions in Washington. “And that’s always been my vision for the country: to restore the soul of the nation, to rebuild the backbone of America — the middle class — to unite the country.” “We’ve been sent here to finish the job!” The US Capitol in Washington, DC, on February 6, 2023, ahead of US President Joe Bidens State of the Union address on February 7. Jobs are coming back, pride is coming back because of the choices we made in the last two years.” The setting for Biden’s speech looks markedly different from a year ago, when it was Democratic stalwart Nancy Pelosi seated behind him as House speaker — though tighter-than-usual security measures returned in a vestige of the 2021 attack. “Most Americans simply want to live their lives in freedom and peace, but we are under attack in a left-wing culture war we didn’t start and never wanted to fight.” Television crews set up inside Statuary Hall on the day of U.S. President Joe Biden's State of the Union Address in Washington, U.S., February 7, 2023.
