legislative agenda, that the democratic party and president biden have pursued? look, i think that is a lot to do it. obviously, every election is complicated. many factors. but i think the popularity of what we ve done these two years really stands at. you can look at the warnock race as an example. senator warnock ran largely on two things that were part of our agenda here. capping the price of insulin at $35, which we achieved for senior citizens in the inflation reduction act for congress adjourned for the summer, and secondly, taking on student loan debt relief and having that ten and 20,000 dollar plan to rollback student debt, which the president did by executive order this summer. so he s one example. he and other senators run on the infrastructure bill, one of the chips the progress we made things to the rescue plan. one of the pack back, the billion acted to help veterans. we ve had a very busy legislative and policy first two years. i think that gave people a lot
faced twice, which was have the congress adopt disagreement, which not only gave a lot of benefits to people in the railroad industry, but the alternative was a potential rail shutdown, hundreds of thousands of people, a lot of them unionized, losing their jobs, particularly in the auto industry another manufacturing industries, communities losing their access to clean water because they wouldn t have the chemicals to put in the water, hospitals shutting down i think in the face of that catastrophic alternative, the president believed the best thing for the largest number of working people, including unionized working people in the country, was to have congress adopt the agreement. final question, and quickly on this, is the white house looking into any executive action that could possibly deliver six for employees given that the railroads are a big federal conduct? always looking at ways to expand paid leave, that s what the president said when you put this proposal before the c
i think reassuring these jobs, these manufacturing, makes our country strong, it makes our national security strong, it makes our job market strong, and creates a lot of good union jobs. the president is the most pro-union president we ve ever had. he wants to create the kind of manufacturing jobs that people can raise a family on, that we can build economies around, that we can build the country around. we mention the presidents pro labor record, which i think speaks for itself, although i ve gotta ask you about the railroad strike. obviously, there was a majority of the workers represented voted against that deal that had been negotiated by the biden administration. the president urged both houses in congress to pass, and they did, legislation that essentially force the deal whether the workers wanted or not. but a lot of workers who say they are angry, you see the problems with our current rail system is the sort of just in time model that has cut down 30% of the labor force, as
work in the rail and a street, but for everyone in our country where the only developed nation without a systematic system of paid leave. the president wants to fix that. all right. ron klain, steve chaff chief of staff to president joe biden, thanks for joining us tonight. thanks for having me, chris. coming up, how georgia walked the long road from red to blue. walk democrats across the country can learn from the peach state, next. atment for episodic migraine. most common side effects are nausea, constipation, and tiredness. ask your doctor about qulipta. gillette presents. the gillettelabs with exfoliating bar. a razor designed to take the hassle out of your routine. with effortless shaving in one efficient stroke. the bar in the handle removes unseen dirt and debris the gets in the way of the blades. so, nothing gets between you and a quick and easy shave.
