And provides zero details and just rambles on about how terrible Republicans are.
This isn't a policy they're suggesting, it's a political ad....
Sounds like they're following the Faux News strategy, which won't work on people that would vote D. They want to hear what Kamala will do, everyone already knows Republicans are shit.
It's disappointing to see that both sides have reduced the president press as simply a propaganda tool
The white house is definitely being used as a political tool, but check the fact sheet to see what they are doing exactly.
I don't see any link for that in the press release, maybe I'm missing it.

Not sure why that wasn't the link you posted, or why anyone expects this to actually pass when Biden's spent four years saying he can't do anything about the House/Senate.

This doesn't need to pass Congress. This is an administrative rule, not a new law.
