House Republicans held a press conference ahead of President Biden’s State of the Union address, contrasting the majority's agenda to Biden's "failed far-left Democrat policies." 

The president "must answer for his failed leadership" said House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik of New York in her opening remarks, highlighting the GOP agenda during the first weeks of the 118th Congress.

"In just the first few weeks, we have re-opened the people's house, defended America's energy security, protected the sanctity of life, deferred to Joe Biden's IRS army, put an end to Joe Biden's COVID-19 power grab and established select committees to address the Chinese Communist Party's malign influence and the weaponization of the federal government," Stefanik continued.

The lower chamber Republicans convened ahead of the president’s Tuesday address to Congress, vowing to hold the president accountability with their new House majority.
