Why 2024 may be Joe Biden’s time — again!
In March of 2019, I wrote a piece for The Hill on why 2020 might just be Joe Biden’s time. At that point — early in the primary season — many had written him off. Now, as we approach the 2022 elections and polls and pundits are once again writing off Joe Biden, my advice is — be careful, be very careful. Here are 10 reasons why, once again, I urge the chattering class not to count Biden out, should he decide to run. Reason #1:

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Sunday said she is "very worried" that the Federal Reserve will "tip this economy into a recession" after Chairman Jerome Powell announced the bank would keep raising interest rates in an effort to combat inflation.

Fifty years after the last humans walked on the moon, humankind has started to go back to Earth’s nearest neighbor. After all the false starts, the political wrangling, the technological difficulties and the bureaucratic ineptitude that has accompanied the effort, NASA’s Artemis 1 mission will launch as soon as Monday, Aug. 29. The Artemis program has taken the efforts of many engineers, managers and politicians over the past several years to make the dream a reality.
