Mr. Biden plans to present himself to what is likely to be his largest television audience (khán giả) of the year as the adult in the room, willing and able to reach bipartisan (lưỡng đảng) compromises in an age of deep partisanship, according to advisers, who spoke on the condition of anonymity (nặc danh) to describe the speech in advance.

“It’s about projecting an image of responsibility (trách nhiệm) and rationality (lẽ phải), of being the adult in the room,” Thibault said of China’s response. “It’s a clear signal to nations in the developing world that the U.S. is selfish, untrustworthy and hypocritical (đạo đức giả).”

"Seeing Liz Keating keep her seat on council is going to be a top priority this year,'' Mock said. "Liz has functioned as the adult in the room on Council; and the city needs that."

President Biden also promised he would be the adult in the room. But his leadership has been sorely lacking.
