A State of the Union address or an early election campaign speech? | US elections 2024


Joe Biden attacks Donald Trump, who will almost certainly be his electoral rival again in November.

The president of the United States has made his case for another four years in the White House in a State of the Union address that sounded more like a campaign speech.

Joe Biden touted his accomplishments and took aim at his Republican rival Donald Trump.

Polls predict a close race for the November elections.

And Biden will have to work hard to convince undecided voters.

He will also have to overcome divisions within the Democratic Party over his support for Israel and its war against Gaza.

So is he doing enough so far to win over voters?

And will pro-Palestinian Democrats make a difference at the polls?
