Summary

President Biden announced his 2024 re-election campaign this week through a video that targeted “MAGA Republicans” and touted his defense of freedom and civil liberties. Critics of the President have been quick to call out the concerns over his age, and cognitive ability, as he would be 81 years old at the time of the 2024 election. FOX News Contributor and former State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf discusses the message shared in President Biden’s launch video, the voting issues that Democrats can capitalize on in the 2024 Presidential Election, and what factor former President Donald Trump played in President Biden’s decision to run for re-election. The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic has been investigating how prolonged school closures have affected students' ability to learn during the pandemic. House Republicans accuse the American Federation of Teachers of changing the language used in the Centers for Disease Control's February 2021 guidelines to keep schools closed longer than necessary. The AFT's President, Randi Weingarten defended the union saying that it made perfect sense for CDC to consult with them before issuing their recommendations. Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) joins to discuss her takeaways from the Committee's hearing, the role the teachers union played in keeping schools closed longer, and the long-term effects of learning loss on students.
