Across the Atlantic, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is accused of wrong-doing, having parties during the lockdown. For that reason or not, the nation is not taking measures against the pandemics (while much better than here in the States.)
President Biden during the election campaign promised a mask mandate.
This is an election year. Is Biden a lame duck already? His budget plan is not going anywhere. The Senate is not passing his voting rights bill. Could that convince the voters "if Democrats win both the House and the Senate, they will implement the plans as they promised before the election?"
