Here are the key takeaways from Biden's town hall:
President Joe Biden was fielded key questions on the economy, infrastructure and more in the CNN town hall.WASHINGTON – In a town hall roughly six months into his administration, President Joe Biden faced questions from the coronavirus pandemic still plaguing the United States and vaccine hesitancy to concerns of gun violence and limits on voting rights.
Biden said"the expectation," although scientists aren't"promising me any specific date," is for children to possibly be able to get vaccinated by the beginning of the school year in the fall.
CNN moderator Don Lemon asked Biden that if Democrats and Republicans "can't come together right to investigate the biggest attack on our Capitol in 200 years," what makes him think that they could come together on anything."I don't care if you think I'm Satan reincarnated," Biden said. "The fact is, you can't look at that television and say nothing happened on the 6th.""I have faith in the American people," Biden said.
However, when pressed by Lemon on "why protecting the filibuster is that more important than protecting voting rights, especially for people who fought and died for that." Lemon added that former President Barack Obama, who Biden served under, noted that the filibuster is a"relic of Jim Crow." Biden said he agreed, but said that if they got rid of it nothing would get done.
He added: "There will be near-term inflation because everything is now trying to be picked back up," he added.
