WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) issued the following statement after President Biden delivered his 2023 State of the Union address:
“Tonight, President Biden showed the American people how his steady leadership has put our nation back on the right track. Inflation has fallen every month for half a year, and we have the lowest unemployment rate in five decades. American global leadership has been restored on issues from fighting climate change to defending freedom and democracy in Ukraine. All the while, we’re investing billions in a bipartisan effort to fix our roads and bridges, restore America’s advantage in advanced manufacturing, and take care of our veterans.
“We must find bipartisan solutions to our broken immigration system, gun violence, and drug prices, including by capping insulin costs for all Americans. In the coming months, we must show responsibility, pay our bills, and stop playing politics with our country’s finances.
“Under President Biden’s leadership, we’ve come far, and we still have further to go. I look forward to working with him in the coming year.”
