Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – The taunt heard worldwide from now-former House Speaker McCarthy landed with a thud… and a vacant Speakership. Meanwhile, President Biden has brought it and keeps on bringing it. Here are just a few life-changing accomplishments he’s brought about for all Americans, not just those who voted for him:
- Brought dignity to and respect for the office of the Presidency, respect for other institutions that are pillars of democracy, and respect for our military and troops serving now, those before them, and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
- Signed the American Rescue Plan Act that included direct stimulus payments to individuals, expanded unemployment benefits, funding for vaccine distribution, and support for state and local governments.
- Brought American allies assurance that America is back and ready to lead the fight for democracy across the globe and lead on climate change, global economic issues, and human rights. Our allies can once again trust what the leader of the U.S. says.
- Brought 750,000 new manufacturing jobs to our factories and more tremendous respect for workers’ rights.
- Brought about a $2.3 trillion package aimed at investing in transportation, broadband, clean energy, and other infrastructure projects to create jobs and modernize the country’s infrastructure, not just for the states who voted for and supported his initiative, but for everyone.
- Brought about the CHIPs Act to produce semiconductors in America.
- Biden rejoined the Paris Agreement on climate change and announced a series of executive actions and policy proposals to combat climate change.
- Brought childhood poverty down by 50% through the Covid Relief Act and Inflation Adjustment Act.
- Brought protection to LGBTQ and interracial marriages under attack from the courts.
- Brought reproductive rights protection to women after Roe v. Wade was struck down through executive action.
- Brought post-pandemic inflation down from 10% to under 4%.
- Brought down the price of prescription drugs by allowing Medicare to negotiate prices.
- Brought about the first gun safety legislation since 1994.
- Brought a record 11 million new jobs to America in his first two and a half years and a 50-year record-low unemployment rate, with more Americans working than ever.
- Brought the most diverse Cabinet in history to Washington, including the first openly gay cabinet secretary, the first native American woman, the most minorities, and, of course, our first female Vice President.
- Brought the first female black justice to the U.S. Supreme Court and record numbers of racial and ethnic minority justices across the federal district and appellate court system.
- Brought independence back to government agencies such as the FBI, IRS, and Department of Justice.
- Brought home the troops from Afghanistan as well as political prisoners from several hostile nations.
