BRONX TIMES REPORTER, J 12 AN. 22-28, 2021
BY BRONX TIMES
At 78, Joe Biden became the oldest person
ever to hold the presidency when he
took the oath of offi ce at noon on Jan 20. as
the 46th President of the United States.
Biden has spent most of his years on
Earth in service to the public, the majority
of which were in the United States Senate,
representing the people of Delaware.
In his career, he has witnessed, and responded
to, all kinds of crises that befell
the republic — wars, recessions, political
scandals, terrorist attacks, and more.
Yet the next four years of Biden’s life
will be his most critical — and the most
important to the United States. The task
before him and incoming Vice President
Kamala Harris is to heal a broken country,
crippled by pandemics of disease and
division, and rebuild America stronger
than it was before.
COVID-19 has already killed more than
400,000 Americans, and will kill thousands
more before it is fi nally defeated.
While his predecessor dithered, delayed
and dismissed his obligations, President
Biden cannot spare a moment in fi nally
getting this crisis under control.
Biden must lead a simultaneous, allhands
on-deck effort to get critical care
to where it is needed; expand the distribution
of the vaccine; chart a path forward
toward reopening business and schools;
and lead a national campaign to get all
Americans to take this virus and its
threats seriously.
In rebuilding the economy, Biden must
convince Congress to spend every dollar
it can to help small businesses and working
families. Our country needs a spending
program not seen since the days of
World War II to get people back to work,
help families stay in their homes, open
and reopen businesses, and improve public
works.
New York needs all the help it can
get from the Biden administration right
away. The COVID-19 vaccine rollout has
been abysmal. Supplies are rapidly depleting,
and it’s almost impossible to get an
appointment. Restrictions are destroying
restaurants and other small businesses
every day, and the longer the virus persists,
the more economic damage they
will incur.
The city, like the country, is counting
on Biden to deliver on his vows to help
“build back better.” We have confi dence
he will do his very best.
We wish Biden well. As we learned the
hard way the last four years, the entire
country ultimately shares in a president’s
success — or shoulders their failure.

critical years
