“Sleepy Joe” is no more. At the State of the Union address on Thursday night, the 81-year-old president set out to defuse his biggest liability: deep-seated fears among millions of Americans that he’s too old to serve a second term.
The New York Times reported “Verbal swings at Donald Trump, though not by name. A spirited back-and-forth with G.O.P. lawmakers. And a loud and feisty delivery.”
Reuters reported “President Joe Biden on Thursday laid out his case for re-election in a fiery State of the Union speech”
Associated Press reported “President Joe Biden delivered a defiant argument for a second term in his State of the Union speech”
CBS posted “In defiant 2024 State of the Union, Biden fires opening salvo in likely rematch with Trump”
Can the president keep up this start of the campaign in the defiant and feisty way he started all the way to November 5? He will have to if he hopes to win.
