President Joe Biden will make his election-year State of the Union address on Thursday amid foreign conflicts and domestic uncertainty.

He's expected to address Russia's war in Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, as well as issues closer to home like border security, reproductive rights and the economy.
