Washingtonian report published on Wednesday, which honed in on the “awkward feeling of rooting” for the spokesperson reporters are general expected to scrutinize. “She takes questions from everybody,” chief ABC News Washington correspondent

Anita Dunn, a senior adviser to Joe Biden, was interviewed by CNN’s Jake Tapper Sunday morning. On

And now, as of this week, it’s under 1,000. The Biden administration has moved quickly to move these kids out of Border Patrol facilities. We’re now, the average time that a kid is spending in a Bord

Washington: President Joe Biden will unveil a nearly $2 trillion spending plan to boost the middle class Wednesday as the highlight of a sunny, yet audacious speech to Congress signaling the Democrat’s desire to reshape America.
Speaking to a joint session of Congress on the eve of his 100th day in office, Biden will hail what on Tuesday he called stunning success in vaccinating Americans a national effort that has transformed the country from coronavirus catastrophe to leader in global recovery.
But with solid approval ratings and a Democratic majority albeit razor thin in Congress, Biden feels he has momentum on his side to tackle politically difficult challenges.
