House Speaker Mike Johnson shared a video on Thursday ahead of President Biden’s State of the Union address; “The state of our union under President Biden: three years of decline,” Johnson said.
The video highlights Biden’s failures at home and abroad, including the state of the economy, the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, the crisis at the southern border, and more.
“The State of the Union address will offer the American people an opportunity to hear directly from the President – a rare occurrence during his tenure in office. In just three years, President Biden’s policies have rapidly accelerated American decline on every issue from the economy to national security and foreign policy,” Johnson said in a statement. “The American people don’t need empty words on a page for a ‘reset’; we need better policies and a real leader.”
Watch the video above.
According to The Hill, President Biden plans to discuss tax cuts and the economy during the SOTU.
“President Biden will highlight that lowering costs for working families is his top economic priority,” national economic adviser Lael Brainard told reporters.
“The president will also lay out his vision to make our tax code fairer and to lower the deficit by making big corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share,” she said, adding that he wants to rework the tax code so that “billionaires do not pay less than school teachers or firefighters and to ensure the wealthy cannot get away with cheating on their taxes.”
