Biden met with the GOP lawmakers on Monday to discuss a framework which they believe would muster bipartisan support, which would include cutting several aspects of Biden’s proposals. They pitched a scaled-back proposal for a relief package—a $618 billion bill that is roughly one-third the size of what the president has put on the table. A statement from the group after these talks said: “It was an excellent meeting, and we are very appreciative that in his first official meeting in the Oval Office, President Biden chose to spend so much time with us discussing the response to the COVID crisis....

With long-serving German Chancellor Angela Merkel leaving office and U.S.-French ties strained, the White House’s direct line into the European Union is blurrier than ever, despite Biden’s vow to reinvigorate America’s traditional alliances. The U.S.-U.K.-Australia defense pact has embittered the French, while anti-Americanism is alive and well in Germany, particularly on the left. France and Germany are the EU’s pillars, and neither is currently enamored by the U.S. The U....

This is about the same amount that previous Democratic presidential candidates spent in recent cycles. The Biden campaign becomes the first in U....

While the news may have been floated in order to boost Biden’s appeal Republicans and independents, the rumor has results in some criticism from the left, who want Biden’s cabinet choices to reflect the recent leftward swing of the party and not include former C level executives. Either way, a GOP cabinet member should not be a surprise, nor should it be much cause for concern. Presidents have long taken a bipartisan approach to the cabinet....

The White House announced Biden would introduce a series of measures aimed at tackling the ongoing border issue, something Republicans and other critics, in their view, have lambasted the president for not taking seriously. During his visit, Biden is set to visit El Paso, Texas, a major port of entry for illegal immigration into the United States. While the president is not expected to reveal any new policy details, he is set to confirm plans to reduce pressure on Border agents....

Overall, the plan aims for a 65 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 by changing the source of electricity for government buildings and updating the fleet of US government vehicles to electric cars and trucks by 2035. All government buildings are supposed to use 100 percent carbon pollution-free electricity like wind and solar by 2030 and be entirely carbon-free by 2045, and federal contracts purchasing goods and services are to be carbon-free by 2050....

“I know some wanted to see a larger number today, and so did I,” Biden told reporters at the White House Friday. “But what we’ve seen this year is continued growth, month after month, in job creation.” Biden was referring to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ August report, which showed that only 235,000 jobs were added last month, far fewer than the 728,000 economists had predicted. It’s the lowest monthly growth in jobs since Biden took office in January....

Per the Post, Buck’s stint as guest host — which typically have lasted two weeks — will air sometime in the summer and put him in contention to permanently take over the late Alex Trebek.
