President Obama: Back at the White House
For the first time since leaving office in 2017, President Obama returned to the White House to mark the continued success of the Affordable Care Act.
Because of the ACA, millions of Americans have access to quality, affordable health care, and since President Biden took office, he's taken steps to strengthen the ACA -- like fixing the "family glitch," which would save hundreds of thousands of families hundreds of dollars a month. Democrats believe that health care is a right, not a privilege, which is why the Biden-Harris administration will continue to fight for improved health care coverage.

Addressing Putin's Price Hike at the pump
Because of Putin's war of choice, less oil is getting to market, and the reduction in supply is raising prices at the pump for Americans.

Keeping our communities safe from gun violence
President Biden also unveiled a final rule aimed at reining in the business of manufacturing the most accessible "ghost guns," privately made firearms that are difficult to trace. This rule will make it illegal for businesses to manufacture these ghost gun kits without a serial number and require commercial sellers to become licensed dealers and to perform a background check prior to a sale.
It's necessary action like this that will help keep us and our communities safe. To learn more about President Biden's plan to protect our communities, click below →
