Joe Biden

President Joe Biden's campaign quickly cut a new ad based on his widely well-received State of the Union Address, and interspersed images of the January 6 insurrection, Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the KKK including an "America First" parade banner, which is also Trump's campaign and policy slogan.

In the Biden ad, the president says, "Again and again I see competing forces in the battle for the soul of our nation." As the audio of those words plays, the video shows the KKK image, then an image of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and then Donald Trump.

The 2023–24 winter season was the warmest ever recorded for the mainland United States, official data showed Friday, in the latest sign the world is moving into unprecedented territory as a result of the climate crisis.

The average temperature in the lower 48 US states from December to February was 37.6 degrees Fahrenheit (3.1C), 5.4 degrees F (3.0C) above average, "ranking as the warmest winter on record," the agency said.

As President Joe Biden delivered his State of the Union address Thursday, former President Donald Trump was watching — and giving live commentary on his Truth Social platform, slamming Biden's claims and applying his own fact-checks.

Of the many parts of Biden's speech that got under Trump's skin, one was Biden's claim that the "pandemic no longer controls our lives," and that the vaccines that "saved us from COVID are now being used to help beat cancer."

Hiring in the United States was robust in February although unemployment crept up, government data showed Friday, a potentially encouraging sign for policymakers hoping to cool the economy without tipping it into a downturn.

Officials have been walking a fine line trying to bring down inflation by raising interest rates without causing a major blow to the economy.

Add former Naval War College professor Tom Nichols to those who are wondering today why the Republican Party chose freshman Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) to give the response to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address.

Appearing on CNN with host Jim Acosta, Nichols — now a columnist for The Atlantic — came down on the side of those who were baffled by Britt's over-emoting and dramatic speech from her barren-appearing kitchen that he concluded came across as "creepy."

Max Rose, a former Democratic congressman from New York, responded to comments about Speaker Mike Johnson's bizarre facial expressions during President Joe Biden's State of the Union Address — and reminded viewers that Johnson wasn't the GOP's first choice for the job.

A New York Times review commented that Johnson, whose myriad of expressions while Biden spoke were mocked online, had one of the "worst poker faces in American politics."

After President Joe Biden delivered his State of the Union Address Thursday night, he spoke with many senators, members for Congress and guests in the chamber, and was caught on a hot mic sharing some strong language about the embattled and highly controversial Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu.

Biden, who has formed a coalition to aid Israel after the October 7 attack by Hamas, has been hammered by those, including the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, who say Israel has been committing war crimes as it battles Hamas. Some have said Biden is not doing enough to protect civilians in Gaza, which he addressed during his SOTU remarks.

During an interview with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) about President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough praised the president for bringing up the Jan. 6 insurrection — and said he put Donald Trump-supporting lawmakers on the spot.

Scarborough made note of how Republicans in the audience reacted to various Biden proposals. Then Schumer brought up the Capitol riot, with Biden telling Republicans, "You can't only love your country when you win."

In the wake of his State of the Union speech Thursday, President Joe Biden hit the campaign trail Friday morning with a huge boost to his campaign coffers. According to reports, the 9, 10, and 11 p.m. hours after the State of the Union were Biden's best for fundraising of the campaign cycle so far.

The Biden campaign raised $1 million on Thursday before the speech even began, and the record hauls continued while he was speaking.

A Republican Senate candidate called to repeal President Joe Biden's infrastructure law but admits he doesn't actually know much about it.

Pennsylvania has received over $13 billion from the bipartisan infrastructure law, but GOP candidate Dave McCormick has made rolling back that funding a key issue in his U.S. Senate campaign, reported The Keystone.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) had a lot to say from his seat behind President Joe Biden Thursday night — while barely uttering a word.

Throughout Biden's booming tone that covered many topics — including several direct barbs against his "predecessor" as he brought up the economy, immigration and reproductive rights — Johnson could be seen smirking, grinning, and even rolling his eyes.

Wide praise for President Joe Biden's State of the Union address seems to have gotten under the skin of Donald Trump, who took to his Truth Social account to rage at the current president.

Late Thursday night, the former president praised Alabama Republican Sen. Katie Britt's SOTU response, which led to immediate blowback from his supporters, and on Friday morning he launched his own attack on Biden's speech.
