California faces a new multimillion-dollar deficit despite its enormous state budget. Newsom is disqualified from the presidential race.

 President Joe Biden will declare that the U.S. has turned the corner on the pandemic that killed more than half a million Americans and crippled the economy in his first speech to Congress, while outlining a broad plan for federal spending on infrastructure, education and other Democratic priorities.

“America is on the move again,” Biden will say in his address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, according to excerpts the White House released. “Turning peril into possibility. Crisis into opportunity. Setback into strength.”

Biden will unveil his American Families Plan, a $1.8 trillion package of tax credits and domestic priorities including child care, paid family leave, and tuition-free community college that would be funded in part by the largest tax increases on wealthy Americans in decades.

He’ll also tout his previously proposed $2 trillion infrastructure bill, casting it as a jobs-maker especially for people without college degrees -- Americans who largely supported his predecessor, former President Donald Trump.

“Nearly 90% of the infrastructure jobs created in the American Jobs Plan don’t require a college degree,” he will say, according to the excerpts. “75% don’t require an associate’s degree.”
