Preparations and security measures continue in Washington D.C. for Wednesday’s inauguration, and the investigation into the insurrection at the Capitol continues.  As the nation looks to a transition in leadership, President elect Biden faces a daunting series of crises including the pandemic and a partially shuttered economy. To address those issues, on Thursday, Biden introduced an almost $2 trillion economic relief package.  We’ll discuss the latest political developments.
