Vice President Pence will skip President Trump s farewell ceremony, as will top Republican congressional leaders Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy. All will be with Joe Biden instead.
President-elect Joe Biden is promoting a $1.9 trillion economic relief package to a country battered by a year-long pandemic that will have killed over 400,000 Americans and sickened tens of millions more before he takes office this week.
The proposal announced Thursday evening is an aggressive start for an administration that will have only slim Congressional majorities to work with, especially as it comes layered atop a policy agenda packed with a wide array of Democratic priorities.
The Pentagon is intensifying efforts to identify and combat white supremacy and other far-right extremism in its ranks as federal investigators seek to determine how many military personnel and veterans joined the violent assault on the Capitol.

Dr. Jill Biden has been by Joe Biden s side since before his tenure as vice president, and even before his first run for president in 1987. In their 40-plus years of marriage, they ve expanded their family, welcomed multiple grandchildren, and moved into the White House. They ve also endured the painful tragedy of losing a son, Beau Biden, to brain cancer in 2015. She is so damn tough and loyal, the president-elect said about his wife last August.
Now, the longtime couple are heading back to the White House as Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump in 2020 presidential election. All eyes may be on Joe for now, but don t forget about Jill, a longtime educator, proud military mom, and prankster grandmother. After her husband was elected, she responded to the victory with a sweet photo, writing, He will be a President for all of our families.
