‘Such a disappointment’: Northeast Florida GOP lawmakers slam President Biden’s State of the Union address

Don’t miss out on these fabulous Insider DealsPresident Joe Biden arrives for the State of the Union address on Capitol Hill, Thursday, March 7, 2024, in Washington, as Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Mike Johnson of La., watch. That includes complaints that the speech was more campaign-oriented than it should have been.“If I had closed my eyes, I would have thought I was at the Democratic National Convention, not the State of the Union,” Republican U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz said.

”Joe Biden delivered an incredible speech that was very well received by the American people beginning, middle and end,” Democrat and House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries said.“If you had eyes and ears, you saw a president that was tough, that was smart, that was ready for the fight, that took it to people and talked about the American people,” campaign co-chair Mitch Landreiu wrote.

“What he did was spectacular. He did it with vigor, with patriotism. I think it was one of the finest State of the Union addresses and I’ve seen many,” former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. Senator Marco Rubio from Florida posted this on social media: “Biden screamed his way through a weird 68-minute “proof of life” speech aimed at calming down a very nervous Democrat base.”Kent Justice co-anchors News4Jax's 5 p.m., 10 and 11 p.m. newscasts weeknights and reports on government and politics.
