President Biden plans to attack Russian President Putin for the “premeditated and unprovoked” Russian invasion of Ukraine and lay out plans to address the highest inflation in decades in his State of the Union address Tuesday night.
and lay out plans to address the highest inflation in decades in his State of the Union address Tuesday night.
On the domestic front, Biden also planned to focus heavily on the economy and inflation, which is at its highest levels in decades and has been cited by voters as a top concern. The president was to outline ways his administration was looking to lower costs for Americans, including by making more products in America and becoming less reliant on foreign supply chains.
The address may mark Biden’s last opportunity to make the case for his domestic policy agenda before a Congress controlled by his own party, with many Democrats facing a tough fight in the midterms. But even as much of the world’s attention remains on Ukraine, administration officials said they are still hoping to use the moment to make the case for the work Biden has done on the economy and make the case that the president has a plan to do more to address domestic economic concerns.
The plan includes a call for action to address social media’s potential harm to the mental health of young people, the official said, adding that the Department of Health and Human Services will launch a crisis hotline in the summer that would connect people to mental health resources.
