President Biden is giving his second State of the Union<\/a> address Thursday, when he\u2019s expected to tout his administration\u2019s accomplishments and set goals for the future in front of a Congress that is one of the most politically fractured in modern history.<\/p>\n

Biden is making his case to a Democrat-dominated Senate that\u2019s largely followed his lead on major legislation and a House Republican majority that\u2019s actively investigating him for impeachable crimes.<\/p>\n

The date of the speech, March 7, is the latest a State of the Union address has ever been delivered.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just the second time a president\u2019s in-person address to a joint session of Congress was not delivered in January or February. Biden delivered his first address to Congress March 1, 2022.<\/p>\n

It comes after Washington officials spent the first two months of 2024 scrambling to avert a government shutdown while also warring over Biden\u2019s supplemental foreign aid request for Ukraine<\/a>, Israel and Taiwan.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a war rages in the Middle East<\/a> between Hamas and Israel, Ukraine is beginning to feel the drain of U.S. resources and China continues to stir concerns it could move to curb Taiwan\u2019s independence.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also the issue of the worsening border crisis<\/a> back home, and House Republicans told Fox News Digital they want to see Biden address it Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Democrats, meanwhile, are urging Biden to highlight his accomplishments on infrastructure, the economy and other issues.<\/p>\n

Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., the No. 3 leader in the House, said he was skeptical Biden could adequately address the crises he is facing this year.<\/p>\n

“No amount of scripted rhetoric from the White House<\/a> will change the fact that the real State of the Union has been defined by the unprecedented crisis at our southern border, total chaos overseas and lingering economic struggles caused by Joe Biden\u2019s failed policies,” Emmer told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., who represents a district Biden won in 2020, said, “I want to hear him address the border issue with some honesty.”<\/p>\n

“The No. 1 issue is the broken border, which has led to the murders of innocent Americans by migrants released into the country and the epidemic of fentanyl overdoses<\/a>. President Biden has the power to fix it but refuses to do so and just blames Congress,” Bacon told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., told Fox News Digital, “Thursday night is sell night. The President needs to reiterate just how much he\u2019s accomplished to the American people. His bipartisan legislative accomplishments are the best in generations. Fom the infrastructure bill to gun safety, building semiconductors and helping our veterans, the President knows how to get stuff done, and the economy is on the upswing with consumer finance soaring post pandemic.”<\/p>\n

A House Democratic aide urged Biden to “save the \u2018democracy is on the line\u2019 argument for another day<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

“Tell the American people concretely how their life is better today than it was in 2020, with a focus on lower insulin prices, increased manufacturing jobs and better health care<\/a> for veterans. Those are tangible accomplishments, and there is no excuse not to be trumpeting them every chance he gets,” the aide told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“For the area where things aren\u2019t better, like border security and reproductive rights, don\u2019t sugarcoat it. Admit where the problems exist and make crystal damn clear both what you are for and what the Republicans are against.”<\/p>\n
