Hey everyone , hope you ' re all doing well . Let ' s chat about the State of the Union address last night . President Biden really knocked it out of the park , laying out his plans for the economy , protecting our freedoms , and strengthening our alliances . The reactions have been pretty positive , with experts and media outlets praising his speech . Now we ' re hitting the road to spread the message across the country . The President and his team will be visiting various cities in the coming days to connect with the American people and discuss the progress made so far . Today , they ' re heading to Philadelphia , then off to Atlanta tomorrow . It ' s a busy schedule ahead , but the focus is on engaging with the public and highlighting the differences in vision for the country . So , stay tuned for updates on where the President will be next . Just wanted to mention that besides the President ' s post - State - of - the - Union travels , the Vice President and Cabinet members are also hitting the road to show how the President is focusing on building up the economy for everyone , investing in all of America to give the middle class a fair chance , and ensuring no one is left behind . They will also emphasize how the President ' s investments are keeping communities safe , expanding healthcare access , rebuilding infrastructure , creating good jobs , and securing a bright future for Americans . The Vice President is starting her travels in Phoenix , Arizona today , then heading to Las Vegas on Saturday , and finally Denver , Colorado on Tuesday , March 12th . Lots of traveling ahead , so hold on tight – someone might stumble ( laughs ) . But seriously , what ' s your question , Josh?That ' s not what we were focused on , obviously . Look , the main point here is that we shouldn ' t make this a political issue . Congressional Republicans need to move forward and not reject a bipartisan bill that came out of the Senate . It ' s important to make progress with this bill and not turn it into a political game . That ' s what we must avoid . As we move forward in addressing border challenges and fixing the broken immigration system , the President has emphasized the need to do it in a humane and respectful way . Regarding the use of a certain word , there may have been some staff second - guessing , but the President was responding to a specific situation and discussing the importance of dealing with immigration and migrants in a humane manner . As for Kyrsten Sinema ' s resignation , I don ' t have any specific conversation or call to share . The President congratulated her on her service and the work they were able to accomplish together , including bipartisan bills that have become law and will positively impact Americans ' lives . As for members of the Democratic Caucus who didn ' t applaud or stand during the President ' s speech , there were several , including Rashida Tlaib . What ' s the President ' s message to his party members who heard his speech last night about Gaza and still aren ' t satisfied with his actions? I mean , the President has been working hard to secure a hostage deal in recent weeks and months . Unfortunately , I have to cut this short , we have to go . Sorry , guys . Can ' t confirm any meetings with Rashida Tlaib or Nikki Haley . Thanks , everyone .
