WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Joe Biden is delivering his State of the Union address to Congress on Tuesday night amid a sour public mood.
This is Biden's second State of the Union speech since he took office in January 2021 and the first of its kind before a divided Congress with Republicans taking control of the House of Representatives after last year's midterm elections and Democrats still running the Senate this term.
The primetime remarks came a week after a Gallup poll had showed that most Americans remain downbeat on the way things are going in the United States, with only 23 percent saying that they are satisfied while more than three-quarters are dissatisfied. ■
