2024 State of the Union: Speaker Johnson ridicules Biden in video, highlights stair mishaps
House Speaker Mike Johnson Slams President Biden Ahead of State of the Union Address
In a scathing critique, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) launched a blistering attack on President Joe Biden just hours before his highly anticipated State of the Union address. Johnson’s office released a powerful video that skillfully weaved together clips of Biden’s remarks on crucial issues such as the border crisis and the economy, along with his most embarrassing moments, including his stumble on the stairs of Air Force One.
“While the White House plans to use the annual address as a ‘reset,’ Speaker Johnson is reminding the American public that the reason a reset is even necessary is because of President Biden’s failed agenda and failed leadership,” Johnson’s office stated.
Johnson emphasized the significance of the State of the Union address, highlighting that it provides a rare opportunity for the American people to hear directly from the President. However, he expressed deep concern over the rapid decline of the nation under Biden’s policies, spanning just three years. From the economy to national security and foreign policy, Johnson argued that America’s standing has plummeted due to the President’s ineffective strategies.
“The American people don’t need empty words on a page for a ‘reset’; we need better policies and a real leader,” Johnson asserted.
The impactful 90-second video, titled “Three Years of Decline,” also shed light on the Biden administration’s mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021 and the subsequent weakening of America’s position on the global stage. As Russia invaded Ukraine, the Middle East plunged into conflict, and China and North Korea grew increasingly aggressive, the video underscored the dire consequences of Biden’s leadership.
Biden’s Final Address in His First Term
Thursday’s speech marks Biden’s fourth address to a joint session of Congress and serves as the culmination of his first term. With the upcoming presidential election in November, Biden is expected to face off against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, setting the stage for a rematch of the 2020 race.

What examples does Johnson provide of Biden’s gaffes and blunders, and how does he argue they reflect on the President’s ability to lead?
Rassing gaffes and bloopers. The video, titled “The State of Confusion,” highlights what Johnson perceives as Biden’s incompetence and lack of coherent policies.
In the video, Johnson accuses President Biden of being detached from reality and failing to address the pressing concerns of the American people. He criticizes Biden’s handling of the border crisis, highlighting the surge of illegal immigrants and the lack of effective measures to secure the border. Johnson points out that Biden’s policies not only undermine national security but also have severe economic implications, as illegal immigration puts a strain on resources and job opportunities for American citizens.
Furthermore, Johnson accuses President Biden of mismanaging the economy. He argues that Biden’s proposed tax hikes and excessive spending are detrimental to small businesses and the middle class. He emphasizes the negative consequences of Biden’s approach, including inflation and loss of jobs. Johnson asserts that the Biden administration’s policies are paving the way for economic instability and hindering the country’s recovery from the pandemic.
Johnson also highlights Biden’s numerous gaffes and blunders, implying that they showcase a lack of mental sharpness and competency. He questions whether President Biden is truly capable of effectively leading the nation and making informed decisions. Johnson argues that these gaffes, often dismissed as mere slip-ups, are indicative of a more profound issue concerning the President’s ability to govern.
As House Speaker, Johnson’s critique carries significant weight and reflects the sentiments of the Republican Party. His remarks echo the concerns shared by many conservatives who believe that the Biden administration’s policies are leading the country in the wrong direction. Johnson’s video serves as a concise compilation of Biden’s perceived failures and shortcomings.
President Biden’s State of the Union address is eagerly awaited by both supporters and critics. Johnson’s scathing critique sets the tone for the ensuing debates and discussions surrounding the President’s policies and performance. It highlights the stark divide between the two major political parties and the challenges that lie ahead for the Biden administration to unite a deeply divided country.
As the State of the Union address approaches, it is crucial to remember that critique and criticism are essential components of a healthy democracy. However, it is equally important to approach these debates with civility and respect for differing opinions. While Johnson’s critique is sharp and direct, it is essential for everyone to engage in constructive dialogue to find common ground and work towards solutions that benefit all Americans.
Ultimately, the State of the Union address presents an opportunity for President Biden to address the concerns raised by Johnson and other Republicans. It is a chance for the President to articulate his vision for the country and outline the policies that will shape his administration’s agenda. The American people will be watching closely, hoping for a message of unity and solutions to the challenges facing the nation.
