And yes, there were times when Democrats had to go it alone.īut time and again, Democrats and Republicans came together.Ĭame together to defend a stronger and safer Europe.Ĭame together to pass a once-in-a-generation infrastructure law, building bridges to connect our nation and people.Ĭame together to pass one of the most significant laws ever, helping veterans exposed to toxic burn pits. You know, we’re often told that Democrats and Republicans can’t work together.īut over these past two years, we proved the cynics and the naysayers wrong. When world leaders ask me to define America, I define our country in one word: Possibilities. Today, though bruised, our democracy remains unbowed and unbroken.Īs we gather here tonight, we are writing the next chapter in the great American story, a story of progress and resilience. Today, COVID no longer controls our lives.Īnd two years ago, our democracy faced its greatest threat since the Civil War. Two years ago, COVID had shut down our businesses, closed our schools, and robbed us of so much. We are the only country that has emerged from every crisis stronger than when we entered it.Īs I stand here tonight, we have created a record 12 million new jobs, more jobs created in two years than any president has ever created in four years. Of never giving up.Ī story that is unique among all nations. The story of America is a story of progress and resilience. I also want to congratulate the new leader of the House Democrats and the first Black House Minority Leader in history, Hakeem Jeffries.Ĭongratulations to the longest serving Senate Leader in history, Mitch McConnell.Īnd congratulations to Chuck Schumer for another term as Senate Majority Leader, this time with an even bigger majority.Īnd I want to give special recognition to someone who I think will be considered the greatest Speaker in the history of this country, Nancy Pelosi. Speaker, I look forward to working together. I start tonight by congratulating the members of the 118th Congress and the new Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy. Chief Justice, Associate Justices, and retired Justices of the Supreme Court.
