President Joe Biden will address the country on Thursday in the State of the Union to deliver a winning message and address what Congress has done.

Lawmakers spoke about the upcoming address and touched on the government funding package.

“I think what you'll see is he'll levy a lot of accusations at Republicans. That's what he did last time,” Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., said. “He'll talk about all the things he's doing to secure the border. When you look at what's happening across the country, where you have all the fentanyl deaths and you lay that handily at Joe Biden's feet. What he needs to do is own the fact that his policies are a failure, but he won't do that.”

The address comes at a time when concerns have risen over the border crisis. Biden is expected to urge GOP lawmakers to pass a bipartisan immigration bill as polls show immigration is the top issue for many voters.

“I’m looking forward to the president talking about reproductive freedom and the ways that we are lowering costs for Americans, whether it's putting more resources into housing or getting people in higher, better-paying jobs," Rep. Lois Frankel, D-Fla., said.

The House passed $460 billion in spending bills on Wednesday as legislators hurry to pass the legislation through both chambers before the looming shutdown deadline at the end of the week.

“Well, the good news is that I expect this week we're going to keep at least half the government working. Democrats have been able to put people over politics, but we're going to be taking care of our veterans, pregnant women and their children who need food; our water infrastructure, training, making sure that the abortion drug stays legal,” Frankel said. “There's a lot of good things in this funding package.”

The package will support various programs and initiatives that include hiring new air traffic controllers and rail safety inspectors; medical care and benefits for veterans, and research and science programs. It is also expected to keep key federal agencies open through the end of the budget year.

“That whole concept of pushing it off has become kind of the rule of the day as opposed to the exception. I believe we'll get something done this week, but they need the Democrats to pass it. We end up passing something just to keep the government open because that's what we do, we work for the people, even though it doesn't have all the provisions in there that we'd like to see,” Rep. Dina Titus, R-Nev., said. “The Republicans aren't going to vote for it. They just soon shut down the government. They don't like government, they don't want services. So that makes them happy.”
