Joe Biden peppered his first address before Congress with policies so popular they're hard to oppose
Bidenism’s One-Two Punch
The president’s case for his program rests on egalitarian nationalism and the value of democracy. That’s a more potent case than the Democrats have had in decades.
Apr. 29 - Perhaps because he was compelled to wait longer than any presidential aspirant in American history before actually winning the White House, Joe Biden understands timing. Not just the need to move quickly on his far-reaching agenda, but also the order in which he presents its components. If Biden has made one thing clear in his first 100 days as president, it’s that he understands, and is a master of, sequencing.
In his first address to Congress, as in his first 100 days, he led with proposals for fundamental change, but particularly with proposals so popular that they’re hard to oppose. In the Republican response to Biden’s speech, South Carolina Sen. Tm Scott skipped lightly and quickly through his critique of Biden’s proposals for infrastructure, family assistance and access to health care, and he was in such a rush because Republicans know that Biden’s case is compelling. Like his fellow GOPers, Scott spent much more time on racial, religious and cultural wedge issues, proclaiming that America is not a racist nation, but rather one with Christianity and opposition to abortion at its core. This came after Biden had just presented the closest thing to a social democratic manifesto that any American president has ever delivered. But it’s precisely the social democratic aspects of Biden’s agenda that win the greatest popular support, including a quarter to a third of rank-and-file Republicans.
So long as the debate focuses on the lived experience of the American people, Republicans don’t have much to say... more

Biden calls North Korean nukes a ‘serious threat’ in first speech to Congress
The U.S. president said he’ll address DPRK issues with “diplomacy” and “stern deterrence”
Apr. 29 - U.S. President Joe Biden called North Korea’s nuclear program a “serious threat” to global security on Wednesday, vowing to leverage both diplomacy and his relationship with American allies to solve the problem.
“On Iran and North Korea, nuclear programs present serious threats to American security and the security of the world,” Biden said during a wide-ranging speech that also covered climate change, gun control and COVID-19. “We are going to be working closely with our allies to address the threats posed by both of these countries through diplomacy as well as stern deterrence.”
The statement came as Washington weighs its upcoming North Korea policy review, which could reveal how the Biden administration is planning to handle DPRK issues after former President Donald Trump’s unconventional, summit-driven approach.
[What Biden said] is not so different from what’s been said so far,” said Sang-sin Lee, a research fellow at the Korea Institute for National Unification (KINU). “From Seoul’s perspective, Biden’s mention of the word ‘diplomacy’ could be seen as a win.”
Earlier this month, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan consulted with his South Korean and Japanese counterparts to discuss the administration’s North Korea policy. The White House also said that the U.S. president will meet the South Korean President Moon Jae-in in the second half of May, though the exact dates have not yet been announced. more
