@erinblogan @anumitakaur Inflation soared over the last year at its highest rate in four decades, hammering American consumers, wiping out pay raises and reinforcing the Federal Reserve’s decision to begin raising borrowing rates latimes.com/business/story…
2️⃣ Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
While Biden has made clear that U.S. soldiers will not fight in Ukraine, the U.S. has joined European allies in condemning the assault, levying stiff sanctions against Russia and providing defensive and humanitarian aid latimes.com/politics/story…

3️⃣ The COVID-19 pandemic
Days ahead of #SOTU, the CDC updated its guidance to relax precautions.
The White House also recently said that the country is moving toward a time when the pandemic will no longer disrupt daily life.

It’s likely Biden will talk about education but less clear whether he will touch directly on student loan debt.
