Sen. Mitt Romney told Rep. George Santos that he does not belong in Congress, a lawmaker close to the interaction in the House chamber tells NBCNews.
Biden urged Congress to codify abortion rights, after the Supreme Court last year"took away" the constitutional right to an abortion.
"Americans are tired of being played for suckers," Biden said."Pass the Junk Fee Prevention Act so companies stop ripping us off. For too long workers have been getting stiffed — not anymore.
"Let’s make sure working parents can afford to raise a family with sick days," he said."Paid family medical leave, affordable child care."The president called on Congress to restore the full child tax credit, which he said has given"millions of parents some breathing room and cut child poverty in half to the lowest level in history.
Lifting his hand, Biden responded to the clapping, saying, “That’s OK, that’s fair,” before he improvised one of the more comical lines of the night. When Biden took office, inflation — as measured by the Consumer Price Index for things like food, electricity, apparel, shelter and gasoline — was rising at an annual rate of 1.4%. Over the last year, it rose rapidly, peaking at 9.1% before it subsided to 6.5% in the most recent government data available.Biden called on Congress to raise the debt limit, which lawmakers have always done to prevent a default on the nation's debt.
Biden said the act lowers utility bills, creates jobs and leads to a"clean energy future." He also noted that he has visited the aftermaths of record floods, droughts, storms and wildfires.
