The Memo: Biden steps out of Trump's shadow

The Memo: Biden steps out of Trump's shadow

President Biden ran for election as an antidote to his predecessor. Now he faces a different test — whether he can sell his own agenda.

Biden travels to Milwaukee Tuesday, where he will hold a CNN town hall event. It is his first official trip as president.

There, Biden will make the case for the $1.9 trillion COVID relief package that is the keystone of his domestic agenda.

The CNN event is the opening night of a political performance in which the stakes could hardly be higher.

1. Will Van Jones say after this event "Today, Joe Biden became President" like he did with trump?

No need to, because Joe Biden became the President at 12 noon ET on January 20, 2021.

I don't want Van Jones or his buddy Rick Santorum anywhere near this event.

Joe Biden is not in anyone's shadow, and certainly not trump's.

Have to keep the pressure up by doing lots of events like this. Get out there and show he is working for all of us.
