On Tuesday evening, US President Joe Biden delivered his annual State of the Union address. Biden highlighted his successes and focused, among other things, on the comparatively low unemployment in the United States.
He also reached out to Republicans, urging them to work together to get more done. However, when he accused them of wanting to cut central welfare systems, several Republicans booed and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene shouted that the president was a liar.
