1. It will be an honor to hear Rep Colin Allred's Official response.

Allred's CBC Democratic Representation will be a clear focus on our President's words to America.

He's brilliant & well spoken & I can't wait to watch!
Thanks for posting.

7. Good point. So every group gets to respond to Biden's SOTU speech

Worker Fam Party, 3rd Parties,
Congressional Black Caucaus,
How many Republican groups are speaking?
Trumpers, Regular Repubs, ..

So basically after Biden's speech, every Media head will be filling their time talking about what Biden Did Not say rather than what Biden Did Say?

Got it. This will just be another 'look at me', MSM clusterfk.

In that case, the only one that really matters is the man giving the STOU Speech, our President, Joe Biden.

And not one will be there in support of Biden other than perhaps Rep Allred.
From all I know of him, he will support him entirely, but knowing our Media, they will give him minimal attention.

*Don't bother watching Chris Hayes. We can count on one hand the times he's praised Biden admin without followed immediately by opposition. He's useless to our Dem Party. (cough.. cough, Tara Reade!)

working with PJB.. so I think it will be good for the Congressional Black Caucus to speak..

I'm thinking there will be many Americans who will be interested.

2. This doesn't make sense. President Biden speaks for the Democratic Party.

Why are there now two Democratic “responses”?

9. Tlaib isn't speaking for the Democratic Party of Joe Biden.

She's talking as a rep of the Workers Family Party.
I don't need to hear from anyone but my President.

I'll listen to him & turn off the rest.
I don't need anyone with zero foreign policy creds, nor anyone whining & nitpicking apart the amazing efforts Biden has accomplished over the last year.
Fox GOP will always be as predictable as MSM.
I won't waste my time.

There are times to speak, but a response to the SOTU is just a bad idea.

My understanding is that they will have a response to every SOTU regardless of who is president. The CBC is not adversarial to the current POTUS and by reading the announcement, it seems as if they will be talking about how they and Pres. Biden are working together. This will only help Pres. Biden whose approval among African Americans has declined. Many of us have bought into every social media propaganda against Pres. Biden and even Kamala Harris. I'm shocked to hear the BS some of my people are repeating. I've heard numerous times that Pres. Biden has abandoned black people. This is an election year, we cannot wait until election eve to dispel misinformation and highlight the positives.

Brilliant!

He's For Progress and Unity. NOT Divisive! You know who I'm talkin' about.

Colin Allred wants to WIN the Midterms.. Not trying to Divide the Dems
