Biden, in his remarks, planned to highlight the bravery of Ukrainian defenders and the resolve of a newly reinvigorated Western alliance that has worked to rearm the Ukrainian military and impose sanctions on Russia to cripple its economy.
Biden would speak to"the importance of the United States as a leader in the world, standing up for values, standing up for global norms, but also the efforts that he has undertaken to mitigate how it will impact people here," press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday.
White House officials acknowledge that the mood of the country is"sour," citing the lingering pandemic and inflation as sources of blame. Biden, in his speech, will highlight the progress from a year ago - with the majority of the country now vaccinated and millions more people at work - but also acknowledge that the job is not yet done, a recognition of American discontent.
The speech comes as progress on many of Biden's other legislative priorities remains stalled on Capitol Hill, after Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin scuttled the sweeping"Build Back Better" spending bill that Biden championed last fall. While prospects for congressional passage were slim, Biden also was set to appeal for actions around voting rights, gun control and police reform, which have been hamstrung despite his Democratic majority.
