President Biden took office amid big fears and bigger promises while handing the American people a yardstick and a calendar.

West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin will take part in a discussion on Monday about the future of energy and coalfield communities.
Manchin will participate in a one-hour event hosted by the National Press Club called “A Conversation on Energy Transition and Working Families.”
Manchin, a former West Virginia governor, has a prominent role in Washington in shaping energy policies that affect the region.
He is chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and a crucial vote for Democrats in an evenly split Senate.
“The decisions being made in Washington will determine what our union and our communities look like 20 years from now,” Roberts said.
