President Biden delivered his 2023 State of the Union address on Feb. 7, 2023, on Capitol Hill.
The annual address included mention of gun violence, health care, the state of the economy, and more.
Many Americans watched the address and had strong thoughts about it afterward.
"Idiotic," one father and grandfather in Iowa said bluntly in remarks about the speech to FOX News Digital. "Biden is not leading us - he's misleading us down a very slippery slope, morally, economically, and geopolitically." Read more

In November, Republican former Rep. Lee Zeldin became the closest GOP candidate for governor to wrest control back in the governor's office in 20 years.
On Monday, he did not rule out another run - or a campaign for Suffolk County executive to a bid for the U.S. Senate seat held by Democratic incumbent Kirsten Gillibrand for that matter.
"I do believe at some point there will be a re-entry to government," Zeldin said. "Exactly what that will be and when - we'll see."
Republicans came up short once again in last year's statewide elections. But they hope the results in otherwise Democratic-heavy New York in 2022 can be built on. Read more
