WASHINGTON Republican Sen. Tim Scott says President Joe Biden is failing to fulfill his promise to bring the country closer together and is even pulling the country further apart.
South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott used the Republican response to President Joe Biden’s address to Congress to vow that “America is not a racist country.”
Scott, the only Black Republican senator, seized on Biden’s calls earlier in the evening that passage of major police reform could help stamp out institutional racism nationwide. Scott countered that “today, kids are being taught the color of their skin defines them again. If they look a certain way, they’re the oppressor.”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) â As U.S. President Joe Bidenâs first 100 days come to a close this week, a number of key policy positions and contentious issues remain âunder review,â to use the White Houseâs terminology.
They stretch from deep-seated economic issues a generation in the making to controversial policies introduced by Republican President Donald Trumpâs government, which preceded the Democratic Biden administration.
Many relate to China, the United Statesâ strategic competitor, a rivalry that Biden has starkly defined, most recently in a speech to Congress on Wednesday, as a struggle between democracy and autocracy for control of the global economy in the 21st century.
