President Joe Biden lingered in the halls of Congress last night after his State of the Union address on Tuesday evening, possibly even longer than he had the year before, longer than most presidents had ever. Yes, Joe Biden loves these things.
As his former press secretary Jen Psaki tweeted, “Thoughts and prayers to the staffers trying to move Joe Biden out of one of his favorite places.” Last night, POTUS shut the place down because he delivered, by most accounts, a SOTU address that skillfully layered political pressure and arguments, painted a picture of his administration’s accomplishments, and, with relish, swung back at the fringe sideshow playing out in the MAGA corner of the room.
Eric Lutz, Abigail Tracy, and Chris Smith stopped by an early morning episode of Inside the Hive to break it all down with Joe Hagan and Emily Jane Fox.
