[See NewsBusters for more.] On Wednesday morning’s MSNBC Reports, Washington correspondent Yamiche Alcindor lamented that President Biden did not use his State of the Union address to tie Ukraine’s fight for national survival to the fight for democracy here at home.
Alcindor’s lamentations were prodded by host Chris Jansing asking how people in the White House viewed Biden’s performance, “I think this is a key part, this speech, of his reset, right? That we’ve been talking about for weeks and weeks and weeks, thematically, unity amid crisis, but boy, it's tough to turn a State of the Union into something. Does the White House feel like they moved the needle at all?”
