Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) said Republicans are trying to block President Biden's State of the Union address.
„It's unbelievable that we don't have a national security strategy from the president. We also don't have a budget for him for next year, so we're going to prevent him from actually releasing a State of the Union,“ Sen. Ernst said on Fox News. I want to.”

The president has nothing to do with the budget. Senator Ernst knows that. The President's budget is a non-binding recommendation. Congress controls the budget. Congress does not need to see the president's budget before doing its job.
President Biden's national security strategy document found here. The idea that it doesn't exist is complete BS.
Republicans don't want Biden to give a State of the Union address. Because I want to deny Mr. Donald a speech that draws more audiences from all over the country than any other speech he gives. playing cards We will deliver it again this year.
Republicans in Congress are trying to silence Joe Biden because they don't want him to look competent as president in front of the nation and the world.
Republicans appear to be afraid of Biden and therefore are trying to strip him of his presidential platform. This is because they cannot win the battle of ideas because their own party is being led. Donald Trump has cognitive decline.
