Wikimedia Commons

Hello and welcome to CNN, I'm Wolf Blitzer. Tonight, Joe Biden and the Democrats won the White House, flipped the Senate, and retained their majority in the House of Representatives. We will now bring you to where President-Elect Biden is speaking at his headquarters in Los Angeles, California.

"Hello, Los Angeles! Tonight, we won big! We won the White House and defeated President Trump! We made history tonight, folks. First, I want to thank some very important people who made this night possible. First, the next Vice President of the United States, the great senator from California, Kamala Harris! I also want to thank my wife, Jill and my two sons, Beau and Hunter. Although, Beau can't be here tonight, he is the soul of our campaign and has been with us through the campaign. I also want to thank our great campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon and everyone else who worked for or volunteered for our campaign!

Together, we will unite our great country. I will be the President for all Americans, including all Democrats. Republicans, and Independents. We will bring change that is badly needed and I will work with both Democrats and Republicans in the Senate and in the House of Representatives. We will work to improve the lives of every American and to ensure that every American can succeed. Finally, I want to thank every American for making this possible.

God Bless America!"

Jan. 22, 2021: United States rejoins Paris Agreement

President Joe Biden announced today that the United States will be rejoining the Paris Agreement and will push for climate change legislation in the United States and around the world. President Joe Biden has not endorsed the famous and controversial Green New Deal but one of his administration's top priorities is to stop climate change.

Jan. 25, 2021: Biden's Approval

Approve: 60%
Disapprove: 29%


Feb. 5, 2021: Supreme Court upholds Obamacare



Wikimedia Commons

The Supreme Court has just announced that it will uphold Obamacare. The vote was close with 5 justices voting against the challenge by Republicans, and the other 4 voting in favor of it. The liberal justices: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan all voted against the challenge to uphold Obamacare. Supreme Court Justice John G. Roberts, Jr joined them and voted to uphold Obamacare.


Feb. 15, 2021: Healthcare Public Option

President Biden, Senate Majority Leader Schumer, and House Speaker Pelosi have agreed on a Public Option that would give every American who wants it government-sponsored healthcare. This is different than Medicare for All which Bernie Sanders advocates for because private healthcare still does exist under this plan. The deal is likely to pass both the Senate and the House as both chambers are controlled by Democrats.


Feb. 28, 2021: Public Option passes in the House

Today, Biden's Public Option has passed in the House. The bill was sponsored by Democrats Lucy McBath and Cheri Bustos. The deal received 231 votes, all Democrats. 2 Democrats and all of the 202 Republicans voting against the bill. The bill will now move to the Senate were it is likely to pass.

March. 12, 2021: Paid Family Leave Act passes in the house

Today, Democrats in the House passed the paid family leave act. This would give all Americans a guaranteed 12 weeks of paid family leave if they are pregnant, sick, or caring for a loved one who is sick. This bill was sponsored by Democratic Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Donna Shalala (D-FL). The bill passed with 250 votes with all of the 233 Democrats and 17 Republicans voting in favor of it. 185 Republicans voted against it. The bill will now move to the Senate where it is likely to pass.

Mar. 18, 2021: Public Option passes in the Senate and Biden signs it

Biden's Public option passed in the Senate today. The bill was sponsored by Senator Amy Klobuchar and Michael Bennet. Republicans tried to filibuster the bill but eventually gave up realizing that it was likely going to pass but the vote was very close, 50 in favor and 50 against with Vice President Harris breaking the tie. All of the 50 Democrats voted for the bill and all 50 Republicans voting against it.

President Biden also signed the Public option which made the bill federal law. This is huge news and is one of the most progressive bills in United States history.


Apr. 4, 2021: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg retires



Wikimedia Commons

Today, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg announced her retirement. Democrats put a lot of pressure on her to do so because they have control of the Senate.

President Biden will now nominate someone to put onto the nation's highest court. The court is currently in conservative hands and Ginsburg is one of the 4 liberal justices. Biden announced during the 2020 Presidential Primaries that he will nominate a black women to the court. Biden was asked if he willl keep that pledge and he said that he will do so.


Apr. 15, 2021: Paid Family Leave passes the Senate

Paid family leave passed in the Senate today. This is a huge deal for the United States because most countries already have a guaranteed family leave. The bill was sponsored by Senators Elizabeth Warren and Tammy Baldwin. The bill passed with 51 votes, with all of the 50 Democrats voting in favor of it. Republican Senator Mitt Romney joined Democrats and also voted in favor of the bill. All of the other 49 Republican senators voted against the bill.

President Biden now will sign the bill which will put it into law.

"Public option" as you describe it is not how that works. There is a video from Robert Reich that describes it better then I can here.

Which House Dems voted against public option?

Probably Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar because both of them would want Medicare for All instead and they know that their votes wouldn't make a difference in the result. AOC is moderating a little, so she voted for it.

Apr. 30, 2021: President Biden nominates
Ketanji Brown Jackson




Wikimedia Commons

Today, in a press conference at the White House, President Joe Biden nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. Jackson was nominated in 2013 for the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and has served on that court since then. Jackson was interviewed by President Obama for the seat to replace Justice Antonin Scalia in 2016 but Merrick Garland was picked instead. Garland was blocked by the then Republican controlled Senate. Joe Biden has kept his campaign promise that he will nominate a black woman. Jackson's notation will move to the Democrat controlled Senate. The vote is likely to be close in the Senate, where they should be able to get 50 votes.

Wikimedia Commons

Today at the G7 summit in London in the United Kingdom, President Biden has a discussion with the other nations in the pact: UK, France, Germany, Canada, Japan, and Italy. They talk about a range of global enduring issue including Immigration, Trade, and Russian Interference. President Biden talked with the leaders of the other G7 nations about Russia's interference in the United States' recent 2016 and 2020 Presidential election, in which they tried to sway both elections in favor of former President Trump.

It is unclear exactly what they decided if anything. But they agreed on some sort of sanctions to stop the Russians from interfering in future elections.

Speaker Pelosi currently does not support the bill but allowed the vote.

The bill was approved with 221 votes, all Democrats voting in favor the bill. 12 Democrats and all of the 202 Republicans voted against the bill.

I doubt Lisa Murkowski would vote to confirm any Biden SCOTUS appointments. Remember that she opposed all of Obamas SCOTUS appointments too.

Jan. 4, 2022: McConnell back as Majority Leader

Republicans have voted again on Majority leader. Mitch McConnell retained the position as the leader of the Republicans in the Senate, in a very close vote. Newly elected senator Phil Scott kept his pledge and voted for Lisa Murkowski, who gained a lot of popularity and almost became the leader of her party.

The Republicans now have 51 seats in the senate with the election of Phil Scott in Vermont. McConnell is now back as majority leader. Democrats with President Biden have gotten a lot done so far. This is a big blow to Democrats and it will become harder to do so now with a Republican senate.

Today, President Biden met with newly elected German Chancellor Jens Spahn, who was elected in October of last year. President Biden discussed important topics like Russia, Terrorism, Climate Change, and North Korea.

Their meeting went very well and both the United States and Germany lead the world on many important issues. Germany is a powerhouse and the largest country in central Europe. German Chancellor Kramp-Karrenbauer wants to keep Germany in the European Union and wants to continue Merkel's influence in the union. President Biden and Chancellor Kramp-Karrenbauer want to work with other EU nations to solve many enduring issues.

In France, incumbent President Emmanuel Macron has been reelected in France and has won a second term as President. This election was much closer than the Macron's election in 2017, where he beat nationalist Marine Le Pen with just under two thirds of the vote. This election, Macron beat Le Pen with 53% of the vote, much closer than in 2017. Le Pen received 47% of the vote and has called for France to leave the European Union, which Macron and many leaders in France do not believe.

US President Biden congratulated Macron on his victory and is "looking forward to working with [Macron] in the future on many important issues."

Sep. 10, 2022: Deficit exceeds 1.5 trillion

Economists predict that the debt will reach 30 trillion dollars by 2030. The Biden administration has spent more money than expected. The deficit has exceeded 1.5 trillion this year already because of the 2020 coronavirus stimulus package. The Biden administration says that they will raise taxes on earners over 250k. Moderated and conservatives are very angry about this. The freedom caucus led by Congressman Jordon are calling for cuts to social security and Medicaid. Conservative economists are worried about rising inflation.

Biden's approval rating is dropping among Americans, including Independents.
