President Biden is set to deliver his final State of the Union address for his first term on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s speech is the third State of the Union that Biden will deliver during his time in office, just ahead of the upcoming elections this November. <\/p>\n
Biden\u2019s speech is set to begin at 9 p.m. eastern time and Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) will deliver the Republican response after the president ends his remarks, likely around 10 p.m. eastern. <\/p>\n
The annual speech comes just two days after Super Tuesday, where Former President Donald Trump and President Biden emerged as clear frontrunners in their respective party races, signaling a step closer to finalizing the primary season ahead of their anticipated rematch.<\/p>\n
Following Trump\u2019s successes on Tuesday night, he secured over half of the total delegates necessary to clinch the 1,215 delegates required for the party\u2019s nomination.<\/p>\n
President Joe Biden has amassed 812 delegates thus far. The closest contender, Jason Palmer, an unfamiliar candidate who edged out Biden by 11 votes in American Samoa with a tally of 51 to 40, holds merely 3 delegates.<\/p>\n
During last year\u2019s State of the Union address, Biden\u00a0gave<\/a>\u00a0false impressions when he overestimated the number of American jobs created.<\/p>\n \u201cTwo years ago, our economy was reeling,\u201d Biden said in February 2023, failing to mention that American jobs were lost due to Democrat pandemic policies, which shut down the economy.<\/p>\n \u201cAs I stand here tonight, we have created a record 12 million new jobs, more jobs created in two years than any president has ever created in four years,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n He argued that his administration \u201ccreated 800,000 good-paying manufacturing jobs, the fastest growth in 40 years.\u201d<\/p>\n Rather than creating 800,000 jobs, many American jobs were merely\u00a0recovered<\/a>\u00a0in a post-pandemic economy.<\/p>\n
