State of the Union 2024: Key moments from Biden’s second-longest speech of his term

Mar. 8, 2024 – 03:43 – President Joe Biden spoke for an hour and nine minutes during the State of the Union speech, his second-longest address to Congress so far. The length of his speech was a topic of interest because of questions surrounding Biden’s age and mental acuity. Biden tends to make shorter speeches in general, and recent controversies surrounding his memory meant the sheer length of his remarks was closely monitored. He spoke mainly from a teleprompter during the State of the Union and sparred vigorously with Republicans in the chamber while making a few gaffes.
