Joe Biden was projected Saturday to become the nation’s next president, according to the Associated Press, after campaigning on an ambitious domestic agenda he hopes will improve voters’ finances and invigorate an economy battered by the coronavirus pandemic.
Tax hikes for the rich, broadened health care coverage and student loan forgiveness were some of the projects on candidate Biden’s to-do list.
“I sought this office to restore the soul of America, to rebuild the backbone of this nation, the middle class,” Biden said in a Saturday night victory speech that listed many challenges ahead, like “the battle to control the virus, the battle to build prosperity, the battle to secure your family’s health care.”
