... Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address Suddenly Appears to Be ‘Off’ — For Now
https://beckernews.com ^ | February 24, 2021 | by Kyle Becker

President Joe Biden was expected to have given his first State of the Union address by now.

Although the mainstream press is issuing “fact checks” to dispute the claim Biden was supposed to have had one by February 20th, the AP earlier reported that he was supposed to have had one by… *checks calendar*… yesterday.

“US President Joe Biden is expected to deliver the annual State of the Union address on 23 February 2021 (date is still to be confirmed),” the Associated Press reported.

It is indisputable that the president can have the SOTU address whenever he or she wants. Or none at all, like Jimmy Carter chose in 1977. Or even submitted in writing, as the same president did in 1981.

But Biden will soon be running upon the longest period of time in the last three decades for a president to wait to give his first State of the Union Address.

The first State of the Union addresses by presidential term since 1981:

President Ronald Reagan (first term): February 18, 1981 President Ronald Reagan (second term): February 06, 1985 President George H.W. Bush: February 09, 1989 President Bill Clinton (first term): February 17, 1993 President Bill Clinton (second term): February 04, 1997 President George W. Bush (first term): February 27, 2001 President George W. Bush (second term): February 02, 2005 President Barack Obama (first term): February 24, 2009 President Barack Obama (second term): February 12, 2013 President Donald Trump (first term): February 28, 2017 Thus, if Joe Biden doesn’t give his State of the Union before Sunday, he will have eclipsed the modern timeline for presidents to give their first State of the Union Address.

A check of his presidential calendar gives no details on when a State of the Union may be forthcoming. America is in the midst of a COVID-19 pandemic, fallout from the Capitol riots, a Texas disaster, and other major emergencies. The Biden administration has issued an unprecedented flurry of executive orders, many of them highly controversial.

There are questions that Americans want answers to from their current Commander-in-Chief. And yet, the State of the Union appears to be “confused.”

There has been recent speculation about Biden giving the State of the Union online, most of it related to his believed physical capacity to give one.

Why hasn't Biden given a State of the Union address?

When is Biden going to deliver a State of the Union? Isn’t that typically done…like now?

Joe Biden isn't giving a State of The Union address because his brain is mush.

Has Resident Biden given his “State of the Union” address yet?

Oh wait, that was supposed to be yesterday? Is Sucky Psaki gonna circle back on why this didn’t happen? 🤔 (Like anyone would watch).

President Trump will be speaking to the nation this Sunday at the CPAC. 🇺🇸

No wonder they are putting off the State of the Union. Biden can’t speak coherently pic.twitter.com/XGN5uBQdYr

One thing Americans need as much as a State of the Union: A state of Joe Biden’s health.

I will argue that Biden does not agree with the actual state of the union and dares not to report that the post trump situation is good

I told you folks that Democrat, Joe Biden will never deliver a SOTU address, this year or any year for that matter!!! Sadly Biden in incapable of completing a sentence that is recognizable or understandable.

Americans...all, ya all better wise up and get this poor dude into a old age home as soon as possible. IMHO, “Howdy Dooty, Buffalo Bob or Clarabell” would make for a better POTUS, then failing Joe Biden.....SAD!!!

Correct, it's an address to a joint session of congress. And all recent presidents have given them.

The point is that dopey joe is mentally incapable of doing so. The fraud president is basically a potted plant, with just enough habitual behavior to still grab little girls.

You think they will just not do one. Or have one prerecorded (because of covid) and edited one.

Not true. First term presidents, in their first year, a month after their inauguration, do NOT give a SOTU address.

They give an inaugural address, and the first SOTU is a year later at the end of their first year in office.

President Trump gave a "Speech to Joint Session of Congress" on February 28, 2017. It was not a "State of the Union" speech, because Nancy Pelosi didn't rip up the script aftewards.

If he does submit a speech into the record PLESAE tear it up in front of the nation so we can see the press defend it too.

He can barely read a teleprompter. They should just write his speech and put in their initiatives and email it out.
