Episode 307: Fault Lines on the State of the Union
03/08/24 • 10 min
Today, Les, Jess, Jamil, and Morgan discuss President Biden’s State of the Union address, where contrary to some expectations, President Biden delivered a fiery speech beginning with references to FDR’s 1941 State of the Union speech given as war raged across Europe, and then touching upon the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Hamas war.
What were the Fault Lines team’s reactions to the State of the Union speech? Did President Biden beat the team’s expectations? Did the President’s speech change the minds of Congress or American voters on aid to Ukraine?
Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.
