Joe Biden Expected To Deliver State Of The Union Speech On March 7

President Joe Biden is expected to present his State of the Union speech for 2024 on the 7th of March. He received the usual invitation to address a joint session of Congress from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R La.) on Saturday, satisfying his constitutional duty. With the statement, “Looking forward to it, Mr. Speaker,” Biden acknowledged his invitation via X, a social platform earlier known as Twitter.

Acknowledging the challenging times in his brief letter, Johnson extended the invitation to Biden. The previous year's State of the Union address by Biden had him pronouncing that the Democratic Party was reclaiming its well-established position as an advocate for labor rights and the middle class, under his guidance.

The credible clash between Biden and ex-president Donald Trump is anticipated to be a key point of this year's address, given Trump's escalating confrontational rhetoric since his exit from office, resulting from the Capitol attack on January 6, 2021. Trump’s supporter, Johnson, posted his succinct invitation a day subsequent to Biden delivering a powerful campaign speech criticizing Trump.

In his speech at Valley Forge, a significant Revolutionary War location, Biden stated, “As we initiate this election year, it should be apparent that Democracy is in the voting. Your freedom is also in the voting, and Donald Trump's campaign revolves around him. Not America. Not you. Trump's campaign is engrossed with the past, and lacks a vision for the future. He is willing to compromise our democracy for his personal gain.”
