President Biden delivered his third State of the Union address on Thursday, taking a defiant political tone amid gridlock in Congress. He frequently chided "my predecessor" without naming Donald Trump directly, highlighting the unusual race ahead between the two presidents who have pursued vastly different agendas. He criticized Trump for his stance toward Putin, accusing the former president of bowing down to him. Biden spoke of the January 6th assault on the Capitol, saying "history will be watching" and accused Trump and Republicans of trying to "bury the truth" about the events.
