Biden more like Ike than FDR From: Well, not quite, said historian William S. Bike, author of the book
Winning Political Campaigns, a how-to guide on all aspects of political campaigning. If liberals want such a transformation, they shouldn t rest and think that Biden s plans are going to do it for them. And if conservatives don t want such a transformation, they can relax.

President Joe Biden delivered his first address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday that outlined his ambitious legislative proposals, including a $1.8 trillion American Families Plan that would provide millions of Americans with free preschool instruction and free community college.
