‘Ides of March’ 2020 debate on CNN will have no studio audience due to coronavirus outbreak

In Tuesday's State of the Union Address, President Joe Biden gave a triumphant shout-out to the resilience of American democracy in the face of the attack on the U.S. Capitol as Trump supporters tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power.

"Two years ago, our democracy faced its greatest threat since the Civil War," he said. "Today, though bruised, our democracy remains unbowed and unbroken."

The State of the Union brought together a Democratic president and Senate along with a divided and far-right House of Representatives.

According to MSNBC's Garrett Haake, Rep. George Santos (R-NY) got to the House chamber earlier than anyone else, even reporters and set himself up on the aisle so he could shake hands with those who came in. Santos appeared to be trying to talk to Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) but it appeared that Romney had no interest in speaking to him, turning his back.

Former President Donald Trump spoke out ahead of the State of the Union Address claiming that he created a "booming economy" that he handed President Joe Biden when he left office.

Citing numbers and figures taken from sources including Breitbart, the archives of the Trump White House and the Heritage Foundation, Trump's statement credits him with achievements including creating 7 million jobs.
