State of the Union: Biden to declare ‘state of the economy is strong’ – By A.L. Lee (UPI) / Feb 7, 2023
Feb. 7 (UPI) — President Joe Biden will deliver his second the State of the Union address Tuesday night at the U.S. Capitol, where he is expected to tout his economic achievements over the past two years and outline the national budget that he will send to Congress on March 9.
Biden’s speech is planned for 9 p.m. EST and will be carried live on all the major television networks and streamed live on YouTube.
Biden plans to declare “the state of the economy is strong” — with the United States emerging from three years of pandemic and a more recent inflation crisis with assistance from a manufacturing boom that has helped create 12 million new jobs since he took office more than 24 months ago.
During the address, Biden is expected to tout historic unemployment levels that have reached a 54-year low during his term, and he will also point to the administration’s focus on supporting small business owners across the country.
