247 - US President Joe Biden will deliver his State of the Union address on Tuesday (7) before the new Republican majority in the House.

According to several analysts, this second accountability report from the president to Congress will focus on the federal debt, the economy, and police reform, reports Prensa Latina.

The debt ceiling issue is one of the most pressing, so he is likely to reiterate his calls for the ceiling to be raised without the budget cuts demanded by the Republican Party.

On the other hand, economic and inflationary balance will be one of the great achievements that the president will highlight in his speech, since a few days ago he obtained an employment report showing that the economy generated 517 jobs in the month of January.

It's a perfect argument for talking about a strong economy, assesses The Hill newspaper.

Regarding inflation, the occupant of the Oval Office will respond that he inherited it from the pandemic and that his policies are putting the nation on the right track.

Another item on the agenda would be police reform, due to the uproar caused by the death of young African-American Tire Nichols at the hands of that force.

Furthermore, given the series of mass shootings earlier in the year, it is possible that Biden will press the legislature on the need to ban assault weapons.

Experts emphasize that the president will also not neglect immigration policy, given the impossibility of reaching a bipartisan immigration agreement for years.

The current administration has faced harsh criticism from both Republicans and Democrats over the influx of migrants across the U.S.-Mexico border since taking office.

Biden is expected to maintain his focus on politics and the accomplishments of his presidency, rather than criticizing attacks on members of his party.

Kevin McCarthy, Speaker of the House of Representatives, will sit behind Biden, next to Vice President Kamala Harris, for the first time during this event.
