Biden Unveils Plan To Fight Inflation, Revives 'Build Back Better', During First State Of The Union
Update (1015ET): Coming in at just over an hour (1 hour and 20 seconds, to be exact), President Biden's State of the Union was notably shorter than those of his immediate predecessors - both Barack Obama and President Trump, both of whom regularly delivered SOTUs that were longer than 70 minutes. It was also four minutes shorter than last year's address to a joint session of Congress.
He also concluded with a line that many complained was bizarre, telling his audience to "go get him". Go get who?
Toward the end of the speech, President Biden claimed that he wanted to "hold law enforcement accountable" while also insisting that he wanted to "fund the police". At one point, he even waxed poetic about the two NYPD officers who were recently killed by an unhinged, dangerous criminal.
Toward the end, Biden also urged Congress to 'protect a woman's right to an abortion' as the US Supreme Court is set to rule this year on whether a Mississippi ban on the procedure after 15 weeks can remain.
Meanwhile, check out the reaction in online betting markets to Biden's speech.
Here are the odds of Republicans retaking the House.
