MILWAUKEE — President Joe Biden delivered his State of the Union Address Tuesday evening. He says the country's economy is getting better, but there's still work to be done.
Tuesday night, President Biden told Congress in a 75-minute speech that inflation is going down, but is still too high. 12 million new jobs have been added in his first two years.
He did get strong pushback from Republicans when he suggested some wanted to hold the economy hostage instead of automatically raising the national debt ceiling.
Wisconsin Republican Congressman Scott Fitzgerald from Juneau and Democratic Congressman Mark Pocan from Madison joined TMJ4 News from the nation's capitol to discuss President Biden's speech.

TMJ4's Charles Benson will be in Madison on Wednesday to cover the president's visit. You can catch our full coverage live Wednesday evening on TMJ4 News at 6 p.m.
