Pennsylvania Congressional Delegation responds to SOTU

President Joe Biden delivered a fiery 68-minute State of the Union address on Thursday night that laid out the clear contours of the campaign ahead, criticizing former President Donald Trump over the Jan. 6 insurrection and going after the Supreme Court, with justices present, over its ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.

And he also gave a shoutout to Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey, who introduced a bill to combat “shrinkflation” — which he described as “paying higher prices for smaller products while corporate CEOs brag about record profits.”

“It’s called shrinkflation,” Biden said. “Pass Bobby Casey’s bill and stop this.”

Here are responses to the address from the Pennsylvania delegation from District 1 to District 17.

Unions made my Dad’s American dream possible — and every American should have that same opportunity. #SOTU https://t.co/THeyJm7Fhs

Alongside @POTUS, @HouseDemocrats have passed transformational laws:

Bipartisan Infrastructure Law


Inflation Reduction Act


PACT Act


CHIPs and Science Act


Safer Communities Act

Every community will benefit from these historic investments.

Tonight @POTUS reminded us that America is a story of progress.

He talked about the future we can build together by investing in all of America — from the middle out and bottom up.

And he made it clear that Democrats are ready to do what it takes to finish the job. #SOTU2024

As President Biden said: Imagine a future with paid leave because no one should have to choose between working and taking care of yourself or a sick family member.

We must make paid leave a reality and no longer something we can only imagine.

Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, I have been laser focused on protecting access to IVF. I’m glad that the administration shares this priority. We must pass the Access to Family Building Act – to defend access to IVF and all other assisted reproductive technologies. https://t.co/1v5ijx9CnU

Three years into his own administration, President Biden is telling you he’ll solve your problems.

What was he doing the last three years? What has he done for you or your family? #StateoftheUnion

Unless you’re received a 17% raise in the past 3 years, you’ve taken a pay cut under President Biden. Inflation continues to soar because of the President’s failed policies.

When the Trump Administration left office, and President Biden entered the Oval Office, illegal immigration was at record lows, inflation was close to zero, and our foreign adversaries feared the United States.

Three years later, America is witnessing record-high illegal border…

Unions built the middle class. And they are going to help us build an economy that works for working people.

Joe Biden is the most pro-labor @POTUS in my lifetime. Let’s keep up the fight to protect the union way of life. #SOTU2024
