“Nothing has changed“—ridiculously, preposterously wrong.
Immigration question includes praise for Biden as moral, decent man.
Biden accuses Republicans of “dividing” the country as he tries to justify moving full speed ahead to try and ram through sweeping changes on a purely partisan basis.
“Here’s the deal”
Biden begins presser by providing an “update” on his first-100-day vaccination and school opening plans.
The president says he is upping the vaccine goal by 100 million — 200 million Americans vaccinated against coronavirus in his first 100 days in office.
“Help is here and hope is on the way.”
Some background: in January, the Biden team called the first goal an “ambitious target” and complained the Trump team left them “no coronavirus vaccine distribution plan to speak of.” Trump staffers said that was not the case — and pointed to data showing that the new administration was already on track for 1 million vaccinations a day when Biden assumed office.
Biden celebrating that “Nearly half” of schools are for in person is absolutely pathetic. That means tens of millions of children who have not been in classrooms on a regular bases for over a year despite mounting evidence that schools present little risk. He continues to lower the bar to appease teachers' unions.
Re the economy, this was obviously always going to be the Biden play—take credit for a recovery that was going to be underway no matter what he did or didn’t do.
Not clear what that schools stats really is. Are those schools open five days-a-week for only part-time in-person instruction?
Biden is now setting goal of administering 200 million shots, again saying it's “ambitious” — even though we are well on the pace to do just that.
Biden just takes whatever we are on pace to do with vaccinations and then announces it as a new, ambitious goal.
