In a distinctly partisan SOTU, Trump previewed his arguments against Democratic rivals while throwing red meat to his Republican base
’s State of the Union address may have been a more buttoned-up affair than his freewheeling campaign rallies—but the president didn't veer too far from his talking points on the stump. Sandwiched between the Iowa caucus and Wednesday's Senate impeachment vote, Trump's State of the Union was a dramatically partisan affair with an eye toward November, as the president delivered an address that previewed his arguments against Democratic rivals.
Speaking from the House Chamber, Trump touched on all of his favorite right-wing topics, from touting his “long, tall, and very powerful wall” and economic wins , to railing against sanctuary cities and late-term abortion. But as self-avowed Democratic Socialist Senatoremerges as a clear frontrunner in the 2020 primary, the president also used his speech to seemingly respond to his candidacy with a thinly-veiled attack on the horrors of socialism.
