Confronting a divided Congress for the first time since taking office, Biden talked back as Republicans heckled him from the floor of the House of Representatives they now control.
Still, the president faced choruses of"boos" and scattered shouts of insults like"liar" — and worse — on a range of issues. GOP lawmakers appeared aghast at the accusation, expressing theatrical levels of shock and outrage while others jeered and booed. But some threshold had been crossed and the taunts continued throughout Biden's speech when he addressed issues like immigration and the opioid crisis, with one Republican appearing to yell that it was Biden's fault.the Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy on his election with some friendly ribbing.
He leaned into the microphone as he alternated between making eye contact with lawmakers in the room and speaking directly to the camera — and viewers at home — while occasionally making some of his now-familiar verbal flubs., Biden has little hope of advancing any major legislation. He called particular attention to how the major spending packages he signed into law is helping communities in rural and economically struggling communities, arguing Democrats are the ones doing the most to help blue-collar workers.
