President Biden spoke in detail tonight about a range of topics including the coronavirus pandemic, immigration and gun violence during his first joint address to Congress.
If you missed the speech, here are Biden s most notable lines:
On getting the Covid-19 vaccine administered: After I promised we would get 100 million Covid-19 shots into people s arms in 100 days, we will have provided over 220 million Covid shots in those 100 days, Biden said. We re marshaling every federal resource. We ve gotten vaccinations to nearly 40,000 pharmacies and over 700 community health centers where the poorest of the poor can be reached. We re setting up community vaccination sites, developing mobile units to get the hard to reach communities. Today, 90% of Americans now live within five miles of a vaccination site.

Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), predicted that any vulnerable Democrat who votes to increase taxes will lose their seat when voters head to the ballot box in 2022.
Emmer, the head of the House GOP s campaign arm, made these remarks when asked his thoughts on potential tax increases included in President Biden s infrastructure plan and other Democratic priorities. I m going to tell you right now, and I ll say this out loud and I ll bet McCarthy s house on it - any vulnerable Democrat who votes to increase taxes, corporate or otherwise, will lose their election in November of 2022, Emmer said during a virtual discussion with the Ripon Society last Thursday, according to a press release from the group.
