Biden campaign aims to use State of the Union address as reset after damning Special Counsel claims: Report

Officials close to President Biden believe the upcoming State of the Union address could be an opportunity to reset or “neutralize” public perceptions about his age and memory before the November election.

According to a Monday report from Axios, Biden’s allies plan to spend hours on the text of his speech as well as the president’s physical preparation to turn the prime-time address into a campaign victory.

“Everyone around him is well aware — well aware — of the need to jack this campaign up,” a source close to Biden said. “The only way to deal with the negative aftershocks of the special counsel’s report [criticizing Biden’s memory] is for the president to be out there, to be visible — to be strong of presence and strong of voice.”

Biden is allegedly considering an executive order that could have a drastic impact on the flow of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. Sources suggest that the president could take action two weeks before the State of the Union address, allowing him to claim action over the crisis after Republicans mobilized to block a bipartisan border package.
