President Joe Biden is facing criticism over a question he reportedly plans to ask during his upcoming State of the Union address.
On Tuesday, The Daily Mail reported Biden “will make the case for his stewardship of the country and attack rival Donald Trump and the ‘MAGA Republicans,’ all while asking voters whose side they want to be on.”
Ina statement, White House Communications Director Ben LaBolt said, “President Biden will make the case to continue to build the economy from the bottom up and middle out that has led to record job creation, the strongest economy in the world, increased wages and household wealth, and lower prescription drug and energy costs – instead of the MAGA Republican agenda: rewarding billionaires and corporations with tax breaks, taking away rights and freedoms, and undermining our democracy.”
The Mail reported, “In his remarks, Biden will ask Americans if they want lower health care costs, democratic freedoms and to keep Ukraine from being swallowed up by Russian leader Vladimir Putin? Or do they want to side with drug company profits, tax breaks for the wealthy and Putin?”
The decision to draw a stark contrast and cast opponents of Biden’s policy as siding with Russian President Vladimir Putin did not go over well on social media.

Well then. It's going to be a disaster, and perhaps at least ruefully funny when America answers in eight months: "I dunno, honestly, but whatever it is, it's not yours." https://t.co/SmcdQV4rso
