Joe Biden

Setbacks in Congress and at the Supreme Court are putting President Joe Biden's climate change goals out of reach as brutal heatwaves descend on much of the ...

Despite the gridlock in Congress, and four years of regulatory rollbacks from the Trump administration, the U.S. is actually on track to meet former President Barack Obama’s goal for cutting greenhouse gas pollution — which called for reducing those emissions to 26 percent below 2005 levels by 2025. Restocking the bureaucracy at key agencies like EPA have led to slower than desired progress on crafting regulations, government officials said, but the administration now has several rules in the queue for the coming year. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday that a climate emergency remains on the table, though no decision is expected on that this week. “As president, I’ll use my executive powers to combat climate crisis in the absence of congressional action.” Biden on Wednesday proposed the first-ever offshore wind energy area across 700,000 acres in the Gulf of Mexico, which the White House said would enable enough new electricity to power 3 million homes. “And clearly, the climate crisis is a threat to national security.” The GOP has also seized on this year’s historic rise in gasoline prices, even though that increase has been tied to a global oil market — and broader inflation trend that is hardly a U.S.-only problem. That failure in turn threatens to dampen enthusiasm from the younger and progressive voters that Democrats need in this year’s midterm elections. While those steps would help bring renewable power into the grid, Biden is far from reaching his goals of achieving net-zero electricity by 2035. As he has since the campaign, Biden sought to frame his climate agenda in terms of spurring job growth in new competitive arenas of the economy. Biden was visibly sweating as he delivered his speech on a sweltering 90-plus degree afternoon in southeastern Massachusetts, the second day of a heat wave that’s forced communities across the state to open cooling centers for residents and declare heat emergencies. “As president, I have a responsibility to act with urgency and resolve when our nation faces clear and present danger.

President Biden announced the new climate change initiatives during a speech at a former coal-fired plant in Somerset, Massachusetts.

But without major climate legislation, the country is on track to miss the president's target, according to an analysis by the independent research firm Rhodium Group. "Under the NEA, you could redirect spending to build out renewable energy systems on military bases, implement large-scale clean transportation solutions and finance distributed energy projects to boost climate resiliency." The orders come as the White House struggles to salvage Biden's aggressive climate agenda after talks with West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin stalled last week. Democrats and environmental groups had been calling on the president to issue an emergency declaration that would unlock federal resources to address climate change. Biden is ordering the Interior secretary to advance wind energy development in the waters off the mid- and southern Atlantic Coast and Florida's Gulf Coast. "Since Congress is not acting as it should ... this is an emergency and I will look at it that way," Biden said.

U.S. President Joe Biden said he expects to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping for the first time since March.

When asked whether he thought Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi should visit Taiwan this summer, Biden said: "The military thinks it's not a good idea right now, but I don't know what the status of it is." - When asked whether he thought Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi should visit Taiwan this summer, Biden said: "The military thinks it's not a good idea right now, but I don't know what the status of it is." - "I think I'll be talking to President Xi within the next 10 days,“ U.S. President Joe Biden told reporters Wednesday Eastern Time, according to a White House transcript.

Initiatives are aimed at helping salvage the president's tattered climate agenda after Joe Manchin delivered a major blow last week.

“You had to put on your windshield wipers to get literally the oil slick off the window. That’s why I and so damn many other people I grew up have cancer.” “When it comes to fighting climate change, I will not take no for an answer. “Right now, there are millions of people suffering from extreme heat at home so my team is also working with the states to deploy $385m right now. The president promised executive actions in the coming weeks. The US will fall about halfway short of such a goal absent any significant congressional action, even with presidential orders, analysts have forecast. “As president, I have a responsibility to act with urgency and resolve when our nation faces clear and present danger,” Biden said. And I will look at it that way.” “And that’s what climate change is about. The White House said the heatwaves showed the climate crisis is a “clear and present danger” to the US. It is literally, not figuratively, a clear and present danger. An emergency.

While speaking on the adverse emissions from oil refineries, Joe Biden recounted a childhood anecdote in which he said he “grew up with cancer”.

“He has had several localised, non-melanoma skin cancers removed with Mohs surgery before he started his presidency. You had to put on your windshield wipers to get literally the oil slick off the window. Biden’s physician, Dr Kevin O’Connor had mentioned his history of “non-melanoma” skin cancer in a health report last year. The White House quickly stepped in and posted a transcript of the speech, correcting his “she” reference as “I” such that the transcript read: “And I’m deeply proud of the work she is doing as First Lady with Joining Forces initiative she started with Michelle Obama when she [I] was Vice President and now carries on.” The first frost, you know what was happening? BIDEN IN APRIL: "I have asthma and 80% of the people who, in fact, we grew up with have asthma."

From trying to shake the hand of an invisible man to calling Kamala Harris the 'First Lady', US president Joe Biden has been a gaffe machine.

According to a report by NDTV, Morrison was the first one to speak at the conference followed by the then UK prime minister Boris Johnson. When Biden took the stage to make his speech, he first thanked Boris Johnson. But when the time came to express his gratitude towards the Australian prime minister, Biden forgot his name. The video showed Biden applauding the speaker before wiping his eyes and shutting them for some time. Forgetting Australian president's name At a virtual press conference that unveiled the ‘AUKUS’ alliance between Australia, UK and US last year in September, US president Joe Biden struggled to recall Australian prime minister Scott Morrison’s name. In a video that went viral, it can be seen that someone next to him tried to correct his mix-up which had elicited laughter from the audience. Last month, a video of Joe Biden and US vice president Kamala Harris went viral on social media. However, it was not fully established whether he really dozed off or took a brief moment to rest his eyes. I mean, that's a story-book, man.” US president Joe Biden caused a furore on Wednesday when he during a speech mistakenly stated that he has cancer. You had to put on your windshield wipers to get literally the oil slick off the window. It is during this discussion that he recounted a childhood anecdote to stress on the harms caused by emissions from oil refineries. Referring to his childhood home in Delaware he said, “My mother drove us rather than us being able to walk and guess what? The remark set off much speculation over his health and medical status.

President Joe Biden tested positive for COVID-19 Thursday morning, his office said.

The benefits are clear based on the clinical trials of what this drug can do in terms of reducing the risk of hospitalization and death, and that's why it is a straightforward and easy clinical decision to make to give him that medication," she said. "What would be the worst-case scenario if President Biden took Paxlovid and got this so-called rebound phenomenon? But remember, the White House is not like your home or my home -- they can do a lot of medical monitoring and observation and testing right there." Together, they prevent an enzyme the virus uses to make copies of itself inside human cells and spread throughout the body. She will continue following CDC guidance with masking and distancing, her office said. Patients take three pills twice daily over the course of five days.

Ce n'est cependant pas la première fois que le successeur de Donald Trump se laisse aller à une gaffe en public comme il en a, seul, le secret.

Press chief says Biden, 79, who has had two boosters, is taking antiviral Paxlovid, while first lady Jill Biden has tested negative.

The US has been seeing as many as 150,000 new Covid cases a day, according to Johns Hopkins University. While this is Biden’s first bout of coronavirus, multiple members of his administration have contracted the virus. Before the event started, Biden briefly addressed news of her husband testing positive for Covid.

President Joe Biden tested positive for COVID-19, the White House said. He is "experiencing very mild symptoms" and taking Paxlovid.

At the time, the White House press secretary Jen Psaki conceded that it was possible that Biden could get COVID-19 but said there were no plans to increase testing or require masks around the president. At the time, in 2020, there were no vaccines available. At 79 years old, Biden’s age puts him at increased risk of serious symptoms from COVID-19, though unvaccinated older adults are at much higher risk than the double-boosted president.

President Joe Biden has tested positive for Covid-19 and is experiencing "mild symptoms," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday.

All of the roughly 2,600 guests were required to be fully vaccinated and show proof of a negative test on the day of the event. The Biden administration is continuing the Covid-19 public health emergency as it seeks new funding from Congress for treatments and vaccines. On Wednesday, Biden traveled to Somerset, Massachusetts, for an event on climate executive actions, where he was seen shaking hands and greeting attendees in the outdoor crowd. This is the first time Biden has tested positive for Covid-19, and he last tested negative on Tuesday, per Jean-Pierre. Vice President Kamala Harris and first lady Jill Biden have tested negative on Thursday. He has begun taking Paxlovid," she said, referring to Pfizer's antiviral drug, which is available via emergency use authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration for treatment of mild to moderate Covid-19 in people 12 and older who are at high risk of severe illness. The plan for a subsequently scheduled Democratic National Committee fundraiser in Philadelphia has yet to be determined. The public health emergency declaration allows many Americans to obtain free Covid-19 testing, therapeutic treatment and vaccines. "This morning, President Biden tested positive for Covid-19. He is fully vaccinated and twice boosted and experiencing very mild symptoms. "I talked to him just a few minutes ago. Harris is expected to keep her normal schedule. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and White House domestic policy adviser Susan Rice were some of the highest-ranking Biden administration officials to test positive for Covid-19 after the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington in April. The President also attended the dinner and delivered remarks. The mild symptoms and diagnosis protocol for Biden -- a double-boosted 79-year-old at high risk for experiencing severe illness -- so far will mean "working and resting" at the White House for the rest of the day, according to a senior administration official.

US President releases video saying he is “doing well”, has “mild symptoms” and is fully vaccinated with two boosters.

His predecessor Donald Trump was diagnosed with COVID-19 in October, 2020 and was briefly hospitalised for the illness. He was then expected to travel to Wilmington, Delaware, where he has a home, for the weekend. The White House says it will provide a daily update on Biden’s status, and will inform anyone who has been in close contact with the president. The president tweeted a photo Thursday saying “I’m doing great. The medic anticipated Biden “will respond favorably” to treatment.

Trump has called the story “fake news.” Trump, who repeatedly downplayed the virus and often resisted wearing a mask, was sicker with Covid than was publicly acknowledged at the time, The New York Times reported in February 2021. Biden’s infection is the second time a U.S. president has been personally hit with the virus. He received drugs not widely available at the time, such as Regeneron’s antibody cocktail and the antiviral drug remdesivir, during his three-day stay in the hospital. The announcement of his infection comes as the White House is trying to manage crises on multiple fronts. “They’ve been preparing for this probably for several months now given the percentage of people in the country who have tested positive,” Psaki said. The White House has also consistently battled outside concerns and commentary about Biden’s age and health. The White House has continued to aggressively push for Americans to either get vaccinated or get their booster shots. The extra shots are even more important for adults 50 and older. It also comes just after Biden’s return from a trip to the Middle East and as the highly contagious BA.5 variant has raised concerns about another wave of infections across the globe. Among those was Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who has been critical of the Covid vaccine. “The schedule will continue as planned.

In this current environment, however, “the virus has that many more pathways to spread through the community,” Bell told me—up to and including the president. Although the White House has made plenty of noise about the need for funding to keep the country awash in tests, treatments, and vaccines, Congress has not provided those resources, and the administration has not marshaled the political will to change that situation. At the beginning of this month, in a Fourth of July celebration, the president crowed that the country was “closer than ever to declaring our independence from a deadly virus”; weeks later, he is playing host to that same foe. And although he might have had access to the tools needed to combat it, “that doesn’t mean they’re going into the hands of the people who need them,” Essien told me. In 2020, Trump alarmed experts by peeling off his mask and walking into the White House just after being discharged from the hospital that treated him for COVID. Nearly two years later, Biden, to begin with, is apparently modeling some version of business as usual: The White House has already announced that he “continues to carry out the full duties of the office while in isolation” … which somehow involves the country’s chief decision maker tweeting out maskless photos (taken by someone else, presumably) of himself doing paperwork at his desk. SARS-CoV-2 has been spewing out variants and subvariants at an absolutely blistering clip, and wave after wave of infections has slammed the nation, collapsing case peaks into a never-ending plateau.
