President Biden provided a grim outlook about the country’s ability to combat the coronavirus pandemic Friday while calling on Congress to move forward with additional stimulus relief measures. "If we fail to act, there will be a wave of evictions and foreclosures in the coming months as this pandemic rages on because there’s nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months," Biden said. Biden had pledged efforts to jumpstart the US economy and provide aid to struggling Americans would be his top priority upon entering the Oval Office. "Haven’t we been told for months that restrictions and mandates were necessary to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months?" "The American Rescue Plan asks Congress to provide rental assistance for millions of hard-hit families and tenants," Biden said.
