In his nationally televised address to Congress on Thursday US President Joe Biden declared that “America is rising anew” as he called for an expansion of federal programmes to drive the economy past the pandemic and broadly extend the social safety net on a scale not seen in decades, AP reported.
In the address, Biden pointed optimistically to the nation’s emergence from the coronavirus scourge as a moment for America to prove that its democracy can still work and maintain primacy in the world. “I can report to the nation: America is on the move again,” he said. “Turning peril into possibility. Crisis into opportunity. Setback into strength.”
