is likely to prompt him to make another call on Congress to pass a ban on assault weapons, for all the good it will do.
But the speech is likely to be notable, too, for what he doesn’t mention. There will be no referrals to his predecessor Donald Trump, or the indictments the ex-president may face. Given Biden’s own legal difficulties withHouse Republicans have in recent days ramped up their vengeful investigations into the president himself, including one that will focus on the conducts of the president’s son, Hunter Biden. That won’t be mentioned in the speech either.
What about the thing that splits Congress and the country right down the middle? Will Biden talk about the culture wars? He might feel he has to. The new Governor of Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, will deliver the Republican response to Biden’s address. Sanders, formerly Trump’s truculent press spokeswoman, has staked out ground in the early days of her term issuing executive orders targeting the teaching of critical race theory in the state’s schools and backing legislation banning school lessons that focus on sexual orientation.
She’ll be quick to say that Democrats are out of touch with mainstream American values. Be it now or in 2024, the Democrats can’t afford to refute these claims.
