Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress will be upstaged by President Joe Biden, who will address the nation on prime time about his decision not to run for re-election.
Biden’s account posted on X:
Tomorrow at 8 p.m. ET, I will address the nation from the Oval Office to discuss what’s ahead and how I’m going to get this done for the American people.
— President Biden (@POTUS) July 23, 2024
President Biden passed a statement rejecting a Republican stunt to have Netanyahu address Congress during the campaign. Yes, Netanyahu is interfering in the US presidential election by coming here to give a speech at this time.
Netanyahu is a friend of Trump, so the timing was intentional, as was President Biden’s decision to address the nation the same day Netanyahu spoke to explain why he decided not to seek re-election. .
Joe Biden’s speech will render any other news of the day meaningless. Republicans and Netanyahu should not be bothered by this speech. It might get an hour or less of news coverage in the United States.
President Biden and the Democrats have turned this news cycle on its head, with stunts like Netanyahu addressing Congress going almost unnoticed because Biden is smarter than Trump and his party.
