Bizarre how little Republicans appreciate that 0 pro-life Republican incumbent senators or governors lost in 2022.
“The Greatest Story Never Told” is not really the branding Joe Biden wants for his campaign this fall.
Actually, with Biden now berating the Supreme Court justices, to their faces, about overturning Roe v. Wade, and declaring that “my predecessor” failed to care about the American people, it is possible his speech accepting the nomination in Chicago will be less partisan than this.
This is a campaign speech. It is not a state of the Union address — at least, insofar as Biden has yet to inform us of his assessment of it.
The Alabama Supreme Court in no important sense was “unleashed” by the US Supreme Court, as Biden just said and few in the press will correct. https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-alabama-ivf-decision-and-dobbs/
Now Biden is simply directly attacking Trump over January 6, much as the Democrats did during 2022 with Biden’s speech then. (It worked then, they’re trying again now.)
As a campaign pitch, Biden is making it very clear he is the candidate for continuity abroad and “stability” at home. I’m not saying Biden actually stands for any of these things; it is merely his pitch.
Not once has this SOTU sounded liked anything but a campaign speech, which again isn’t quite a scandal but makes it seem more aggressive than usual. Perhaps the effect Biden’s people want. He is delivering his speech cromulently so far.
“You can’t love your country only when you win.” Hey, tell that to Katie Porter.
When Biden talks about the worrisome events on the world stage and invokes WWII, he does not mention the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. He will, no doubt, address Oct. 7 later — and use it as occasion to bash Israel.
Biden flat-out lies in claiming that the Alabama Supreme Court IVF decision resulted from Dobbs.
Biden sounds some good notes on the importance of democracy and accepting the results of elections. Will he apologize for calling Georgia’s elections “Jim Crow on steroids”?
