MNI POLITICAL RISK ANALYSIS – US Daily Brief 12-01-22

Executive Summary:

  • 11:00 ET 16:00 GMT: White House COVID-19 Response Team will address the press to clarify the government's guidelines on Covid-19. This follows yesterday's tense Senate hearing with the CDC’s Dr. Rochelle Walensky and the government's chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci.
  • President Joe Biden's speech in Atlanta, Georgia clarified the position of the White House on bypassing the filibuster to pass voter rights. Biden’s speech is a gamble because he does not have full backing of his party in the Senate. Some analysts have declared that he is gambling his presidency on this issue.
  • A bipartisan group of Senators have met with Secretary of State Antony Blinken in the Capitol to discuss a trip to Ukraine. The trip would demonstrate bipartisan support for Ukraine and include a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This comes amid competing bills circulating the Hill on Nordstream 2 sanctions.
