President Biden and Vice President Harris traveled Tuesday to North Carolina to tout the recent anniversary of the Affordable Care Act and bash Republicans' health care agenda.
Biden delivered remarks in Raleigh, the capital of a state his campaign has cited as a potential flip opportunity in November after he lost it to former President Trump by roughly 75,000 votes in 2020.

Matthews: Autocrats gonna mandate: health insurance, vaccines, EVs and more
The White House and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are denying that recent EPA regulations are meant to mandate that everyone switch from gas-powered to an electric vehicle (EV).

We’ve seen this movie before. Recall that the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) went into effect 10 years ago. O...

How Biden can win in the swing states by learning from New York City’s subways
Warning that Donald Trump is a “threat to democracy” is too abstract a message to sway many citizens to vote for President Biden.
Instead, his campaign needs to show voters how the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will benefit them in the years ahead — especially in the swing states.
Biden’s signature legislation allocates substantial funds to Arizona ($7.307 billion), Georgia ($12.388 billion), Michigan ($10.783 billion), North Carolina ($10.395 billion),...
