Republicans' final warnings on Biden's big night trends now

The president will deliver his second State of the Union address - his first to a divided Congress - at a time of tense debate over the nation's debt ceiling and fresh off the news of a Chinese spy balloon traversing the continental U.S. 

House Republicans, hot off the new majority they cinched this Congress, say President Biden should use Tuesday's State of the Union address to reach across the aisle and avoid his favorite label for the GOP: 'extreme MAGA Republican.' 

What message should Biden send tonight?  

'He needs to show a willingness to work across the aisle and work with Speaker McCarthy,' Rep. Mike Lawler, a Republican newcomer who flipped a New York House seat in the midterms, told DailyMail.com. 

'If the President takes to that sacred podium as a part of his constitutional duty to give a State of the Union address and uses that opportunity to throw around hyper partisan insults, I think that will be that will be a real lost opportunity, and frankly, really inappropriate,' Rep. Dusty Johnson, chair of the moderate pro-business Main Street Caucus, told DailyMail.com. 

Johnson said he hopes Biden address the 'three great challenges' that face the nation: national debt, China and the southern border - adding there was 'a large amount of bipartisan agreement' on what to do on China after the spy balloon saga over the weekend. 

Johnson added that the 'place would erupt' if Biden announced he was reinstating the Migrant Protection Protocols, otherwise known as the Remain in Mexico policy that required migrants to await their asylum hearings south of the border. 

He said there would be 'real Republican appetite' for working with Biden to address inflation and bring down healthcare costs. 

Biden could reference GOP as 'Extreme MAGA Republicans' 

On Monday, Speaker Kevin McCarthy promised to be 'respectful' during Biden's address and in turn asked Biden to refrain from using the phrase 'extreme MAGA Republican' -- a phrase Biden has taken to peppering in to his public addresses. 

Biden and McCarthy are in a likely fleeting moment of detente as they work to hash out an agreement to raise the $31.4 trillion debt ceiling. 

'I think it's very telling of where they are mentally to sit there and say extreme MAGA Republicans over and over again but not address the fact that gasoline is substantially higher than today than it was two years ago,' Rep. Harriet Hageman, the at-large Republican congresswoman for Wyoming, said.

'If they want to have a debate on whether it is a good idea to raid the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and sell that to China. We can have that debate just calling me an extreme MAGA Republican because I disagree with it really isn't a discussion.'
