What Went Down During President Biden’s Speech To Congress

This isn’t the first time Scott has told his personal story of the racism he’s experienced as a Black man. Last summer, he showed his Republican colleagues hateful voicemails he’s received.

It looks like Scott is going to talk more about race than Biden. Judging from tonight’s speeches, Republicans want to make this more of an issue, and Democrats want to talk less about it.

Scott opened with the issue of school choice. There’s no question that this issue has gained steam because of the COVID-19 crisis. Although, like most issues, partisanship explained support for reopening schools during lockdowns, and the coronavirus crisis made issues around school choice more salient. So I think it’ll be an issue at the top of Republicans’ agenda for a while.
