President Joe Biden spoke about police reform, the need to preserve Medicare and Social Security, his optimism about the American economy and the Ukraine war during his second State of the Union address Tuesday night. "The State of the Union is strong," Biden said, noting the unemployment rate was at 3.4%. The president called for higher taxes on wealthy Americans and urged Republican lawmakers to work with his administration on federal spending. He spoke for about 73 minutes, longer than his two previous addresses to Congress. State of the Union addresses have varied in length but have trended longer since the 1960s.
