Joe Biden is set to make his third State of the Union Speech after becoming President at 9pm EST on Tuesday, February 7th.

This will be Biden’s first State of The Union without Nancy Pelosi sitting behind him. Pelosi was ousted from her position as House Speaker after House Republicans regained control of the House.
The House has undoubtedly been at odds with Biden Administration since taking office. Passing a resolution to revoke the funding for Biden’s new 87k IRS Agents.
House investigations have also been launched into several members of the Biden Administration, with a Republican House now looking at Biden Climate Czar John Kerry and others.
We can surely expect fireworks on Tuesday night. Here as 5 things to expect from the State of the Union on Tuesday…
1. Ukraine, Ukraine Ukraine
While the Biden Administration and the Republican House of Representatives disagree on nearly every aspect of policy, one thing they can surely agree on in Ukrainian Aid.
Republican Leaders have time and time again gone against their base in support of serious funding to Ukraine. Biden even recently sent tanks to Ukraine after claiming last year that sending tanks would cause ‘WW3’.
Biden and the Democrats have an avenue to ‘unite’ with Republican leaders in corruption. It’s called Ukrainian Aid. Expect that to be a major focus of his speech.
2. Lying About Chinese Spy Balloon
I would expect Biden to steer clear of the Chinese spy balloon subject for the most part, considering he has received backlash from all angles over the controversy.
There was no excuse to allow that balloon to fly over the United States. Just as there was no justification for the failed Afghanistan withdrawal.
In the case of Afghanistan, Biden spun the story, claiming that his withdrawal was the ‘end of a war’ and a ‘success’. Expect him to twist this story as well. He will most likely claim that he ordered it to be shot down ‘immediately’. Not true.
3. Lying About The Economy
Biden and his speechwriters are so unbelievably disconnected with reality that they actually brag about the state of the U.S. Economy.
With inflation at an all time high, and price increases continuing to gouge Americans, expect Biden to brag about government spending in his speech tonight.
4. Thank You, Mitch McConnell
While Biden has come under fire in the House, we have seen a direct opposite situation in the U.S. Senate. After working with Biden to pass a massive $1.7 Trillion spending bill, McConnell hosted an event in Kentucky with Biden to celebrate.
McConnell has even recently retaliated against multiple members of the Senate Republicans for challenging his capitulation to Democrats.
Expect Biden to highlight his relationship with McConnell while simultaneously condemning House Republicans.
5. Calls For Debt Ceiling Hike
The center focus of this speech will undoubtedly be Biden’s push to raise the U.S. Debt ceiling. The House has been extremely vocal in opposing this.
Mitch McConnell has completely given up on the fight. He has said that McCarthy should lead the negotiations.
Biden will claim that disaster will strike if we don’t raise the debt ceiling, paving the way for him to pass even more useless government spending.
