State of the Union: Biden's Pitch to the Nation
Joe Biden delivered a fiery address in a high-stakes pitch to Congress and beyond.
Under the close gaze of his critics - and millions of American voters - Joe Biden delivered arguably the most significant State of the Union address in recent times.
The president chose to focus on his economic record, his plans to to fix America's immigration system and repeatedly took aim against Donald Trump.
