It was Biden's second State of the Union and his third speech to a joint session of the United States Congress. Presiding over this joint session was the House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, accompanied by Kamala Harris, the vice president, in her capacity as the president of the Senate.
It was the first address to a Republicans-controlled House of the Representatives since 2018.
Proceedings
[edit]Article II, Section 3, Clause 1, of the United States Constitution states that the president "shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient."[1] On January 13, 2023, President Biden accepted Speaker McCarthy's invitation to deliver a State of the Union Address on February 7.[2][3]
Marty Walsh, the then-United States Secretary of Labor, was the designated survivor for 2023's speech.[4]
Issues mentioned
[edit]- His administration's competition agenda, advocating for a ban on "junk fees" and non-compete clauses.[5][6] Biden called on Congress to enact antitrust laws to rein in Big Tech.[7][8]
- The creation of 12 million new jobs[9] and the unemployment rate. Other talking points mentioned include domestic semiconductor manufacturing, inflation, infrastructure, gun violence, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[10]
- The debt-ceiling crisis and highlighted some Republican-backed proposals to cut Social Security and Medicare.[11] After Republicans in the audience booed, Biden retorted, "as we all apparently agree, Social Security and Medicare is off the books now, right? They're not to be touched."[11]
- A base record of unemployment during his tenure; declining inflation rate, caused by high price of energy over 18 past months; and trying to improve the industrial base of the country through discussions on legislative accomplishments.[12]
Interruptions by Congress
[edit]Several members in the audience interrupted Biden; Representative Andy Ogles yelled "it's your fault!" when Biden acknowledged fentanyl overdose deaths, and Representatives Bob Good and Marjorie Taylor Greene shouted "liar!" during Biden's comments about Republicans cutting Social Security and Medicare.[11] Greene stayed seated when Biden introduced the Ukrainian ambassador to the United States Oksana Markarova and the family of Tyre Nichols.[11]
Responses
[edit]Republican
[edit]Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas gave the Republican response to the president's address.[13] In her speech, Sanders criticized Biden's for allegedly prioritizing "woke fantasies" over the livelihoods of Americans. Sanders also stated that "we are under attack in a left-wing culture war we didn’t start and never wanted to fight".[14]
Representative Juan Ciscomani delivered the Republican response in Spanish.[15]
Working Families Party
[edit]Representative Delia Ramirez (IL-03) delivered the Working Families Party response.[16] In her speech, Ramirez praised the Biden administration's record while calling for action to revive the expanded child tax credit, enact a $15 minimum wage, and expand Medicaid.[17]
Viewership
[edit]This State of the Union address drew 27.3 million viewers, a 29% drop from 2022 and the lowest State of the Union audience in 30 years.[18] According to Nielsen, 73% of the people who watch Biden's speech were over the age of 55, while only 5% were under age 35.
CNN and MSNBC are the only networks to deliver lower viewership for the 2023 speech than for the 2021 speech.
