President Biden was in Scranton, Pennsylvania Wednesday promoting his infrastructure bill and Build Back Better plan, touting the benefits it will bring to working class Americans. This as Democrat lawmakers in Washington DC continue to work out a deal to pass both bills after weeks of negotiating and moving off the original price tag of the $3.5-trillion spending bill. There’s plenty of pressure on the President and Democrats to get something passed. Politico Playbook co-author Tara Palmeri weighs in on the latest Fox News poll showing the President’s approval rating is down 4 points from last month and on the mounting pressure on Democrats and the White House to pass a spending bill.
On Wednesday, October 20th the gunman responsible for the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida pleaded guilty to 17 counts of murder and another 17 counts of attempted murder. The prosecutors are seeking the death penalty but for now, the shooter must await a jury’s decision on sentencing. Father of Parkland shooting victim Alaina Petty, Ryan Petty, joins to explain how this hearing was the first step in allowing the families of the victims to get justice for their loved ones, how the experience moved him to become an advocate for school safety through early prevention and the impact the tragedy had on his family.
