Everything about the timing, I think it's pretty important for
this week is one of the benefits of incumbency,
which is demonstrated in political science time and time again,
is that on Thursday night the president,
United States gives a speech that 10s of millions of
Americans watch.
And that will be time to be the first speech
of the general election.
The first speech after which it is clear,
I think, to everyone after tonight.
And I don't want to get ahead of ourselves,
but I think the writing is on the wall who
the two nominees will be,
and he will get to enter the US Capitol and
speak as the commander in chief and the leader of
the free world and the president of the United States.
About what his vision and what his record is.
And again, there's tangible benefits to incumbency that have been
showed time and time and time again.
And one of the questions that starts on Thursday is
how that boosts A Biden reelection campaign.
And we have not had a March State of the
Union address.
And literally, as long as I can remember,
this is the genius work of the Republicans in charge
of the House of Representatives.
No. A State of the Union address comes about when
the Speaker of the House issues an invitation for the
president to come.
President can't just go, has to get the invitation.
And so the Republican speaker of the House said,
we'll show that we won't let him come in January.
We won't let him come in February.
It's like the later he can come,
the better for the presidential campaign.
