Biden’s Agenda (cont)
He may have been able to garner support for his Covid economic and healthcare aid package and infrastructure spending bill, but when it came to trying to pass legislation regarding his multi-trillion-dollar social spending and climate package, the protection of voting rights, gun control, and abortion access, the traditional Republican opposition bubbled back to the surface.
The Biden administration would eventually see some wins as by summer 2022, they had managed to score some real legislative positives with their climate and healthcare package and a technology investment bill being passed.
After the utter tragedy of widespread mass shootings, including one that claimed the lives of 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas, new background checks for young gun buyers were finally introduced, despite continued opposition from the more Second Amendment obsessed factions within the Republican party.
