“It starts with a real strategy to deal with the pandemic. We cannot resolve the jobs crisis until we resolve the public health crisis.

“Biden’s economic stimulus package for working families will better rebuild our economy. Every time the United States has stood against the wall, we have acted together to lay the foundation – through public investment and a strong social contract – for the American people to pull together and move forward, ”he said.
