Description
The next phase of the Biden economic plan will be broken up into two parts. The first will concentrate on infrastructure... rebuilding and repairing roads, bridges, airports and more. The second part which will be unveiled in the coming weeks, will focus on child care and health care reforms. Also on the docket for Congress will be a voting rights bill and expanded background checks for gun purchases. Ginger Gibson, deputy Washington digital editor at NBC News, joins us for what to expect.
Next, as schools shut down for almost a year in many cases during the pandemic, the mental health of students greatly suffered. According to a Reuters survey of school districts, 74% reported multiple indicators of mental health stresses among students and 57% of responding districts said that teachers were also seeking assistance. Michael Pell, data journalist at Reuters, joins us for how the pandemic did more damage to our students than just getting behind on schoolwork.
Finally, many are wondering about what the comeback will look like for former President Trump. After losing his favorite megaphone on Twitter, aides to the former president are saying he could be a couple months away from launching his own social media platform. Whatever the president chooses to do, he will definitely have a receptive audience, but will it be enough to break through in the crowded social media landscape? Gabby Orr, national political reporter at Politico, joins us for more.
