Good morning you were alive in the cnn newsroom. Im jim acosta in washington today, democrats are Breathing A Sigh of relief after President Bidens fiery state of the Union Address and his impassioned speech that lasted border an hour the president s son ought to diffuse concerns about his age and draw a stark contrast with the maga movement. He lambasted his republican rival more than a dozen times without ever saying his name referring to former president donald trump, simply as my predecessor, republicans in the meantime, sat on their hands. Most of the night, not even president s call to defend democracy he could elicit a unified response and he had no qualms.

Speaker emerita and democratic congresswoman from california, nancy pelosi. Speaker pelosi, thank you so much for joining us. We appreciate it. So i have to say this was this may have been the highest stakes speech of President Bidens long career in politics. It may have been the highest stakes state of the Union Address that ive ever seen.

Good evening. Im abby phillip in new york. And tonight, how joe biden got his groove back and why youre about to hear what he said last night. More than a taylor swift single on the radio. 30 plus Million People tuned in last night to watch the president insist that the state of our union is strong, but also to see if biden could still look strong himself. Its something republicans told you over and over again that he simply could not do. President biden, on the other hand, im not even sure if he knows where he is. And i dont say that flippantly, neal. It actually hurts. He is our president , even if i disagree with him violently. But he clearly is not all there may be automatically that we laugh at it, because some of his ideas and all of his ideas are are laughable, arent they . But also, the longer we laugh, the less hell speak. Probably, or the longer hell have to be up there. Republicans. They bet on sleepy joe and a day later the spin is suddenly totally different. Biden wasnt sl
