Ukraine Ambassador to the United States, Oksana Markarova, looks on as Congress gives a standing ovation in support of Ukraine during President Joe Biden's State of the Union.
Many lawmakers wore pins on their lapels honoring Ukraine.
Biden entered the House chamber without a mask, in a reflection of the declining coronavirus case counts and new federal guidance meant to nudge the public back to pre-pandemic activities. But the Capitol was newly fenced due to security concerns after last year’s insurrection. Biden spoke to an American public that is frustrated with his performance. A February AP-NORC poll found that more people disapproved than approved of how Biden is handling his job, 55% to 44%. That’s down from a 60% favorable rating last July.
“We’re going to push the president to do the right thing,” said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. He also appealed to lawmakers to compromise on rival competitiveness bills that have passed the House and Senate, both meant to revitalize high-tech American manufacturing and supply chains in the face of growing geopolitical threats from China.The speech came as progress on many of Biden’s other legislative priorities remains stalled on Capitol Hill, after Democratic Sen.
