good evening everyone, thanks for tuning in, i m alisyn camerota. welcome to cnn tonight. we have a lot to talk about. we are one night away from what will be the unofficial kickoff of joe biden s likely reelection run, also known as his state of the union address. what case will he make to the nation to elect him to a second term? a lot of political types think it s not just what he says, it s how he appears. president biden would be 82 if he wins reelection. he s already the oldest american president ever. is that why so many people are still on the fence? plus, lebron james is on his way to breaking the nba s all-time scoring record. remember when he was advised to just shut up and dribble? he did not take that advice. now he s 36 points shy of lakers legend gerard s record. we will talk about it. is it stressful at all? the chase? no, because it was never goal, it was never journey. the stress so far for me is competing every single day. also, nerve-racking moment
