The speech, lasting just over an hour, provided Biden with a platform to present his case for reelection to both supporters and detractors ahead of the upcoming November election.
Throughout the speech, Biden engaged with hecklers from the Republican side, responding with humor and vigor.
Democrats showed their support with chants of “four more years,” while Vice President Kamala Harris frequently applauded Biden’s remarks.
In contrast, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson appeared less enthusiastic. Meanwhile, Trump, who currently holds a narrow lead over Biden in opinion polls, offered a lukewarm response on his social media platform, Truth Social.
Biden addressed various key issues, including abortion rights, the economy, the conflict in Gaza, and immigration.
He criticized Republican opponents of abortion, touted the strength of the US economy, called for a ceasefire in Gaza, and challenged Republicans on their stance on immigration.
