What Went Down During President Biden’s Speech To Congress

It was a standard, meaty State of the Union address (even if pedants will insist it wasn’t technically a State of the Union!), with particular emphasis on Biden’s three big spending packages. That’s unsurprising, as they all poll very well. But, of course, as with every State of the Union, it probably won’t persuade Congress to pass any bills that weren’t already on track to pass. I’ll personally be curious to see if any of the bills outside Biden’s “big three” — such as the For the People Act or immigration reform — get anywhere close to passage.
