1 US President Joe Biden has not said much about the impeachment trial of his predecessor Donald Trump, instead focusing on the coronavirus pandemic and other policy priorities.
WASHINGTON - Donald Trump s second impeachment trial may be the talk of America but a few people, at least, are mum so far, for very different reasons Trump himself, and his successor, President Joe Biden.
The opening of the trial in the US Senate on Tuesday, which could affect the political landscape for years to come, is unprecedented: no president has ever watched his predecessor be tried before Congress.
Over the past three months, ambition has turned into action. While the majority of Task Force members have finished their initial assignments, Chandler, Hammond, and Rivkin continue to move the work forward, joined by Dobbin Bookman, Jean Cunningham, Jen Eliason, Brian Kenny, and Kathleen McGinn to comprise a steering committee that will coordinate and impel efforts until a Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer (CDIO) is hired (see below). Additionally, Jill Fadule has been brought on as an interim project manager, ensuring coordination across the many areas of activity and working with others to advance progress on strategic priorities.
Below are some highlights of the work that has been unfolding in selected areas. (See here for a comprehensive account of the progress that HBS has made on its Racial Equity Plan)
