US President Joe Biden is shortly due to deliver remarks at the UnidosUS annual conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. Livestream

  • The speech comes amid what appears to be a Biden pivot to the left in response to an embrace from the progressive flank of the Democratic Party that has kept the rebellion against his presidential candidacy at bay.
  • Axios reports: “Biden said this past week that if he's re-elected, he'd call for legislation to cap landlords' ability to hike rent prices, push for a large-scale elimination of medical debt, and pursue other plans that have been applauded by progressives such as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).”
  • Rep Brad Sherman (D-CA) told Axios the president is teasing many policies the Congressional Progressive Caucus wants — which he said is "not a complete coincidence," based on where Biden is now drawing support.
  • Bloomberg reports that Biden, “is planning to unveil proposals that could dramatically reshape the Supreme Court, including term limits on justices who now sit on the court for life.” Another move that is likely to be welcomed by progressives.
