State of the Union: Biden rebukes Putin, offers 'unity agenda'

Biden took a few moments to thank retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer for his service on the bench and asked the justice to stand and be recognized.

Breyer has been one of the most loyal attendees of State of the Union addresses over the past 20 years -- and tonight he was clearly touched by the presidential tribute.

Biden then immediately pivoted to his nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to fill that seat.

“Since she’s been nominated, she’s received a broad range of support," Biden said.

On the pandemic, Biden outlined four "common-sense" steps the U.S. is taking to "move forward safely":

1. Vaccines and treatments: "We will never give up on vaccinating more Americans," Biden said. He also discussed progress on anti-viral treatments and announced a “test to treat” initiative for COVID-positive Americans to obtain Pfizer pills free of charge.

2. Preparing for new variants: Biden said instead of months or years, we'll be able to deploy new vaccines "within 100 days."

3. Ending shutdowns: Biden stressed the importance of people working in offices safely and keeping schools open. "The vast majority of federal workers will once again work in person. Our schools are open. Let’s keep it that way," he said.

4. Vaccinating the world: Biden said the U.S. has so far sent 475 million vaccine doses worldwide, "and we won't stop."

“Senator Manchin sat with his colleague Senator Romney to remind the American people and the world that bipartisanship works and is alive and well in the U.S. Senate,” Samantha Runyon, a spokeswoman for Manchin, told ABC News in a statement.

Manchin, who opposed many of President Biden's proposals including the original version of his Build Back Better plan, was seen applauding during several moments when the president outlined his agenda.

Speaking in defense of police and law enforcement across the country and receiving a standing ovation from both Republicans and Democrats, Biden made clear that "The answer is not to defund the police, it's to fund the police."
