U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., responded Friday to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address.

“The State of the Union is a great opportunity for a president to deliver a forward thinking and unifying message about the spirit and promise of America,” Capito said. “Tonight, President Biden delivered a divisive and partisan campaign speech. The American people can see through this and are looking for leaders who are ready to solve problems.”

Senator Katie Britt clearly presented the Republican solutions to the problems facing everyday American families and did so with her ever-present optimism and pride in American greatness. The contrast is clear.”

Capito said Biden’s tenure in the White House has been defined by economic failures, a record-breaking border crisis, the rise of violent crime, and the weakened state of America’s standing on the global stage.
