Editorial cartoons for May 2, 2021: Biden’s big speech, Giuliani search, vaccine hesitancy Today 5:00 AM Facebook Share President Joe Biden’s address Wednesday to a socially distanced joint session of Congress is a popular theme in this week’s batch of editorial cartoons. Biden used the speech to take credit for the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine, and to make a case for his multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure and child care plans. Bill Bramhall of the New York Daily News drew the president as Mary Poppins singing about a tax increase to pay for universal pre-k. The Republican response was delivered by Sen.

Critics said Biden’s decision would lead to the toppling of the Afghan government and resurgence of the Taliban. Supporters said U.S. objectives to dislodge terrorists from a safe haven and stand up the Afghan security force had long ago been achieved. ....
