Part of a Series

Cody Keenan, former chief speechwriter for President Barack Obama, joins Daniella to discuss what goes into the State of the Union, key takeaways from President Joe Biden’s address, and what the speech revealed about this political moment. Daniella and Colin also talk about the strength of the U.S. economic recovery and highlights from the Center for American Progress’ recent summit, where governors and mayors discussed how they’re implementing the president’s economic agenda.

The positions of American Progress, and our policy experts, are independent, and the findings and conclusions presented are those of American Progress alone. A full list of supporters is available here. American Progress would like to acknowledge the many generous supporters who make our work possible.
