President Joe Biden, his approval ratings underwater for most of the past two years, made his case for a second term on Tuesday. It’s doubtful he changed many minds.
The 80-year-old Democrat droned on for 73 minutes during his State of the Union address, urging voters to let him “finish the job.” He insisted that all is well, that his economic policies have put the nation on a prosperous path.
“Two years ago our economy was reeling,” Biden said. “As I stand here tonight, we have created a record 12 million new jobs — more jobs created in two years than any president has ever created in four years. … My economic plan is about investing in places and people that have been forgotten.”
