Before President Biden gives his State of the Union address tonight, covering a range of issues he plans to tackle in the next 2 years of his term, U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth spoke to us about some of her plans for the coming term.

She joined The 21st for a discussion that ranged from policy issues like reproductive rights and the war in Ukraine to larger picture items like generational turnover in politics and how to get things done while Congress is divided.
