Is Biden the comeback kid?

The real Joe Biden is back. Tonight, he reminded us why America picked a tried-and-true defender of democracy -- at home and abroad -- to lead us through these tough times.

On the campaign trail in 2020, Biden challenged autocracy and dictatorship overseas, while offering himself as a champion of national unity and cross-party cooperation at home.

He has blown off course at times during his first year. But during his first State of the Union address, Biden found his footing -- and his true north -- once again. He rose tonight as a global leader and a national unifier at the very moment that the forces of freedom and solidarity most need strong leadership.
