On the anniversary of Biden’s inauguration, Teen Vogue takes a look at the president’s first year in office and the progress his administration has made toward five key campaign promises that are important to young people:
John Paul Mejia, the national spokesperson for the, “Biden has the moral obligation to play hardball with Joe Manchin. And frankly, he has to understand the moment that we find ourselves in. History’s eyes are on the president right now. Not only is the future of democracy at stake, but the future of a livable planet [is] at stake as well.”
Putting Build Back Better aside, Mejia offers several alternative options for Biden to make an impact: “Not only could he ban fossil fuel projects, but he could also use the executive office to spur new programs that can get us on track to decarbonize our economy and create millions of jobs for people.”
With regard to Biden’s climate policy, Mejia feels that “Biden is failing us right now. He’s failing millions of young people and millions of voters who took a chance on him in 2020.”During the final presidential debate of 2020, Biden took aim at Donald Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
