Biden lays out plan for America 'on the move again' in address to Congress

Scott said that Biden has not fulfilled his campaign promise of bipartisan collaboration, citing how Democrats passed COVID-19 relief along partisan lines.

"He promised to unite a nation, to lower the temperature, to govern for all Americans, no matter how we voted," Scott said. "This was the pitch. You just heard it again. But our nation is starving for more than empty platitudes. We need policies and progress that brings us closer together."

Following the president remarks, ABC News Senior White House Correspondent Mary Bruce said, "The much smaller crowd still able to keep up the applause lines but also clear that even with masks, it can't mask the displeasure from the opposition."

Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., is delivering the GOP response to Biden's address to the nation.

Biden finished his speech with a great message of hope for Americans who overcame a year of tumult, saying that he is "more confident or optimistic about America."

"Folks, as I told every world leader I ever met with over the years, it's never ever, ever been a good bet to bet against America and it still isn't," Biden said, to a great round of applause. "There is not a single thing, nothing, nothing beyond our capacity. We can do whatever we set our minds to if we do it together. So let's begin to get together."
