Trump campaign seeks recounts in GA and Wisconsin and files multiple lawsuits seeking to overturn the election results in states where Biden has won. Two January 5, 2021 runoff elections in Georgia will determine Senate control. Senator Mitch McConnell will remain Majority Leader and divided government will continue, complicating the prospects for Biden’s legislative agenda, unless Democrats win both runoff s.

  • Case Studies in US Trade Negotiation Preview Chapter 6: the 1999 US
    06--Ch. 6--241-300 8/16/06 8:55 AM Page 241 6 The 1999 US-China Bilateral Agreement and the Battle for PNTR Making Trade Policy On December 11, 2001, China became a member of the World Trade Orga- nization (WTO), a move that would thrust new challenges on the Chinese leadership and people and fundamentally redefine China’s relations with the rest of the world—especially the United States. This case describes the prolonged US-China bilateral negotiations over China’s WTO accession and the subsequent debate and vote in the US Congress to permanently es- tablish normal trade relations with China. Written from an American per- spective, the case presents material that is useful for a discussion of such is- sues as (1) the problems inherent in conducting trade negotiations under the US system of government; (2) the role of trade policy in advancing America’s economic interests; (3) the role trade agreements can and should play in promoting human rights, enhancing domestic reform, encouraging the rule of law, and promoting national security; (4) the costs and benefits of WTO membership; and (5) the nature of the WTO accession process. In order to join the WTO, China had to negotiate not only a multilateral agreement with all the member countries as a group but also bilateral The Eagle and the Dragon: The 1999 US-China Bilateral Agreement and the Battle for PNTR is an edited and re- vised version of the case with the same name originally written for the Case Program at the Kennedy School of Government.

  • Business Insider: Big Corporations Like Bofa, Ford, and UPS Want To
    Business Insider Premium HOME POLITICS Big corporations like BofA, Ford, and UPS want to bankroll Biden's inauguration. But the president-elect won't say yet whether he'll take their money. https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-inauguration-inaugural-ceremony-2021- president-corporations-covid19-2020-11 Dave Levinthal 34 minutes ago Then-Vice President Joe Biden is sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor in 2013. Corporations helped fund inaugural festivities that year, and Biden won't yet say whether he'll take corporate cash for his 2021 presidential inauguration. Mark Wilson/Getty Images • More than 20 big-name corporations either told Insider that they'd like to contribute money to Biden's presidential inauguration festivities, or they wouldn't rule out donating. • President-elect Joe Biden has slammed companies that use money to buy political influence but may want corporate cash to help stage a series of exclusive, inauguration-related events. • Both Barack Obama in 2013 and Donald Trump in 2017 accepted millions of dollars in corporate money for their inaugurations. • Federal law allows presidential inaugural committees to accept corporate, union, and other special interest money, although a president-elect may choose to restrict funding sources. By Dave Levinthal November 19, 2020 From the earliest days of his campaign, President-elect Joe Biden has sniped at special interests itching to influence politics with their money. "Our Constitution didn't begin with the phrase, 'We the Democrats,' or 'We the Republicans." And it certainly didn't begin with the phrase, 'We the Donors,'" Biden told supporters at his campaign kickoff rally on May 18, 2019.

  • Biden Administration and 117Th Congress
    Updated January 15, 2021 1 Executive office of the President (EOP) The Executive Office of the President (EOP) comprises the offices and agencies that support the work of the president at the center of the executive branch of the United States federal government. To provide the President with the support that he or she needs to govern effectively, the Executive Office of the President (EOP) was created in 1939 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The EOP has responsibility for tasks ranging from communicating the President’s message to the American people to promoting our trade interests abroad. The EOP is also referred to as a 'permanent government', with many policy programs, and the people who implement them, continuing between presidential administrations. This is because there is a need for qualified, knowledgeable civil servants in each office or agency to inform new politicians. With the increase in technological and global advancement, the size of the White House staff has increased to include an array of policy experts to effectively address various fields. There are about 4,000 positions in the EOP, most of which do not require confirmation from the U.S. Senate. Senior staff within the Executive Office of the President have the title Assistant to the President, second-level staff have the title Deputy Assistant to the President, and third-level staff have the title Special Assistant to the President. The core White House staff appointments, and most Executive Office officials generally, are not required to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate, although there are a handful of exceptions (e.g., the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the Chair and members of the Council of Economic Advisers, and the United States Trade Representative).

  • Sent a Letter
    March 9, 2021 Ronald Klain The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Chief of Staff Ron Klain: In light of renewed popular interest in American anti-monopoly policy — particularly antitrust law’s applicability to major internet technology firms like Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Apple — three as-yet unfilled appointments in the Biden administration have garnered unusually intense public interest: the Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust, and the two unfilled Commissioner positions at the Federal Trade Commission. A recent report indicates that legal scholar Lina Khan is slated to receive one of these unfilled Commissioner positions.1 If this is accurate, we highly commend the administration for elevating one of the most important antitrust scholars of our time to this role. As you no doubt know, Khan’s article “Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox” upended antitrust legal theory in a way few law articles do, promulgating ideas which have now led to a popular wave of anti-monopolist thinking among the general public.2 However, while the replacement of Rohit Chopra with Lina Khan would be welcome, it leaves major unanswered questions around who the Administration will select as chair of the Commission, who will fill the remaining Commission vacancy, and who will serve as Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust at the Department of Justice. It is precisely Amazon’s monopolistic power which gives us concern. Such a powerful corporation will no doubt expend enormous political and economic capital to limit the power of anti-monopoly forces and their ability to curb its power. Of particular note is Amazon’s direct route into influencing Oval Office strategy and policy conversation, by way of White House Counselor Steve Ricchetti.
