It’s that time of year again, folks—time for President Joe Biden to grace the American public with his annual State of the Union speech! And this year, with 2024 being an election year, you can bet this event will be more watched than ever. With rumors swirling about who will run in the next election, it’s no wonder the American people are on the edge of their seats.
Now, we all know that President Biden tends to ramble on and on during his speeches, and with his recent memory issues, his speech length is under close scrutiny. We’ve seen everything from Richard Nixon speaking for less than 29 minutes to Bill Clinton going on for nearly an hour and a half. But Biden? He’s consistently clocking in at over an hour, and you better believe we’ll be counting every second of it.
Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union address, which will basically be one big blooper reel, is scheduled for this Thursday at 9pm ET.

As for the content of the speech, all eyes are on the immigration crisis. Recent polls show that immigration is the top concern for many voters. Republicans, including Rep. Jim Banks, are demanding that Biden address the tragic murder of Laken Riley by an illegal immigrant during his speech. Will he acknowledge this heartbreaking loss caused by his negligence at the border? We’ll just have to wait and see.
And of course, let’s not forget about the grand Republican response we can expect. Sen. Katie Britt, the youngest Republican woman ever elected to the Senate, will be delivering a sharp and powerful counter to Biden’s address. With her fresh perspective and stance as a hardworking parent, she’s sure to make a strong impression.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there! Nicolas O’Rourke, a city councilman from Philadelphia, will be giving the progressive response on behalf of the Working Families Party. And you know Trump won’t be missing out on the action either—he’s got something up his sleeve to counterprogram the whole shebang.
And what’s a big political event without a little drama, huh? Biden has extended invitations to some pretty interesting guests, including Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Russian dissent figure Alexei Navalny. The plot thickens as we await their RSVPs. But some members of Congress are taking a stand against the whole affair. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has made it clear she will not be a part of Biden’s, and I quote, “puppet show.” Ouch! The drama is positively juicy!
So, folks, fasten your seatbelts and get ready for a wild ride on Thursday night. The State of the Union address is shaping up to be one for the history books!
