In addition to the vice president’s trip, President Joe Biden gave his State of the Union address, where he spoke to Congress about working with him to “finish the job” of rebuilding the economy and uniting the nation.

“The people sent us a clear message. Fighting for the sake of fighting, power for the sake of power, conflict for the sake of conflict, gets us nowhere,” Biden said. “That’s always been my vision for the country: to restore the soul of the nation, to rebuild the backbone of America — the middle class — and unite the country.”
