President Receives Bipartisan Support, Particularly on Russia-Ukraine Stance
Joe Biden’s first State of the Union address has resonated positively with Americans, with snap polls indicating over two-thirds approval—an encouraging development for a president facing challenging approval ratings. Speaking to a receptive House chamber, Biden’s speech was marked by moments of bipartisan applause, especially during his statements on Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine.
Addressing the crisis, Biden declared, “Putin’s war was premeditated and unprovoked. He rejected efforts at diplomacy. He thought the West and NATO wouldn’t respond… and he thought he could divide us here at home. Putin was wrong. We were ready.” The address highlighted Biden’s commitment to unity and resolve in the face of international aggression, drawing support from both sides of the political aisle.
