U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and President Biden visited a water treatment facility in Philadelphia earlier in the day. There they announced $160million to upgrade Philadelphia&#8217;s water facilities as well as replace 20 miles of lead-service lines.

Because they are aware that Biden is a president who has succeeded, even though it may not be the case for most Americans. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kaitlancollins\/status\/1622578560539017222\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">We disagree<\/a>. Because they believe that American voters will be more likely to support Democratic policies if they are given a detailed explanation and context of the policies. This belief is not supported by any evidence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What should you expect?<\/strong>: According the White House official talking points, obtained from the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em>The president will &#8220;outline the historic progress we have made over the past two years&#8221; Encourage Democrats to &#8220;finish the job&#8221; Spend money and raise taxes &#8220;in a fiscally responsible way that reduces the deficit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These talking points don&#8217;t mention the current immigration crisis, which has been a major concern under Biden&#8217;s watch. While they do mention the growing concern of the public about crime, they also highlight the administration&#8217;s efforts. &#8220;keep communities safe&#8221; Through strict gun control measures and controversial &#8220;police reform.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Challenges in physical\/cognitive abilities<\/strong>Biden will be speaking Tuesday at 8 o&#8217;clock in the morning. Most 80-year olds have been asleep for many hours. Biden, like most 80-year olds, has difficulty forming coherent sentences and reading from a Teleprompter. He may need a military-grade narcotics mix to stay lucid and alert throughout the speech.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Political problems<\/strong>: See above. Biden has indicated that he will run for reelection, according to reports. Surveys show that most Americans support Biden running for reelection. <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/poll-majority-of-dems-dont-want-biden-to-run-in-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Democrats<\/a>He would be a better retiree. Unfortunately for Democrats, there is no viable alternative. Kamala Harris Pete Buttigieg? It&#8217;s not going to happen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>They are saying this:<\/strong>: &#8220;I, honestly, think that [Biden] would be too old,&#8221; Sarah Overman, a North Carolina Democrat of 37 years, said so in an <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/ap-norc-poll-biden-2024-presidential-prospects-c843c5af6775b4c8a0cff8e2b1db03f6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Interview<\/a> With the <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/inclusive-americas-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Associated Press<\/a>. &#8220;We could use<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s happening: President Joe Biden, 80, will deliver the State of the Union address at 9 p.m. before a live audience in Washington, D.C.<br \/>\nWhy it matters: It doesn&#8217;t.<br \/>\nThe post State of the Union Preview: Biden To Highlight &#8216;Historic Progress&#8217; appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":97,"featured_media":1838443,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[3620,14123,9511,8502,7308,4701],"class_list":["post-1838440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon","tag-biden","tag-highlight","tag-historic","tag-preview","tag-progress","tag-union"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1838440","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/97"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1838440"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1838440\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1838443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1838440"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1838440"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1838440"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
