Facing negative approval ratings and trailing Donald Trump in polls, President Biden delivered a confrontational State of the Union address, frequently targeting Trump and Republican lawmakers.
Critics called the speech overly partisan and lacking outreach to Republicans.
While Democrats praised Biden's directness and energy, Republicans criticized it for being political and failing to address key issues effectively.
The speech highlighted economic achievements and contrasted Biden's vision with Trump's, amidst concerns about Biden's age ahead of the 2024 election.
