Biden said he would continue punishing Russia for invading Ukraine and laid out a plan to tackle inflation and boost the economy.
In his first State of the Union speech on Tuesday, Biden addressed the many challenges for the nation in the coming year and outlined his plans to tackle them, from continuing to punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine to efforts aimed at speeding up the pandemic recovery.
"When the history of this era is written, Putin's war in Ukraine will have left Russia weaker, and the rest of the world stronger," Biden said. President Joe Biden gives his State of the Union address during a joint session of Congress at the U.S. Capitol on March 01, 2022 in Washington, DC. During his first State of the Union address, Biden spoke on his administration’s efforts to lead a global response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, work to curb inflation, and bring the country out of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On domestic issues, Biden is also facing significant challenges going into a difficult midterm election year in which Democrats are facing the very real prospect of losing control of both chambers of Congress. At the time it passed critics argued the spending plan was too large, and some studies, including one by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, suggest that it may have helpedRepublicans in the House and Senate have blamed Biden for the highest inflation rate in decades, while arguing to voters that Biden's policies have hurt the economy.
Biden noted Tuesday that 75 percent of American adults are fully vaccinated. But the percentage of people aged 18 and older who have been fully vaccinated and have also received a booster dose is 47.1 percent, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
