Sure, because as I'm seeing people say the Presidential campaign is
now in full swing. So the State of the Union address was just a part
of that campaign and some are hoping that Biden has given up on his
ideas of bringing everyone together because that doesn't seem possible
with the MAGA faithful. I'm just glad that Biden finally presented
some sign of life that goes against the message the media has been
pushing.
