In the pre-coverage of Joe Biden‘s State of the Union address, the speech is being billed as the most important of his presidency, what with his dismal approval numbers and what is shaping up to be very difficult campaign for reelection.
Moreover, so much attention has been paid to the president’s age — at 81, he is the first octogenarian on a major party ticket — that any kind of slip up will be seized upon by his rivals.
Then again, Biden’s most memorable moment last year was an exchange with House Republicans over Social Security, showing that the president had command of the stage. That’s why it’ll be interesting to see if GOP members restrain themselves so as to not give the president the opportunity this year.
By all indications, Biden will spend great portions of his speech on the economy, acknowledging that a number of costs are too high but that inflation is being brought under control. He will emphasize abortion rights, as well as the recent ruling in Alabama that restricted IVF. And he will address the border by hammering Republicans for scuttling a recent bipartisan compromise.
Biden “will highlight that lowering costs for working families is his top economic priority,” Lael Brainard, national economic adviser, told reporters on Wednesday. That includes efforts to lower junk fees and new actions to lower housing costs.
Biden plans to propose major changes to his predecessor’s signature achievement — the 2017 tax law. The president will propose raising the corporate rate to 28%, from 21%, and to raise the corporate minimum tax to 21%. Another proposal would deny corporate tax breaks for compensation about $1 million. He also wants to restore the full child tax credit.
