U.S. President Joe Biden has launched a scorching attack on his “dangerous” election rival Donald Trump in State of the Union address.
On Thursday, he delivered a barnstorming performance to make his case for four more years.
Mr. Biden, 81, let the punches fly from the opening moments, accusing the Republican of “bowing down” to Russian President Vladimir Putin and lashing him on everything from abortion to the economy.
Biden did not mention Trump's name in excerpts released by the White House but took a clear dig at the 77-year-old Republican, who has refused to accept his 2020 election defeat and now narrowly leads Biden in the polls.
“My lifetime has taught me to embrace freedom and democracy,” Biden was to say in the primetime speech starting at 9:00 pm (0200 GMT).
Biden was also set to use the annual speech on the floor of Congress to overcome doubts about the wars in Gaza and Ukraine.
He was to announce during the speech that he has ordered the US military to set up a port on Gaza's coast to bring in more aid, reflecting the acute political pressure from many in his own party.
