The committee also received $1 million from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, a major labor union.The filing did not give details on how the money was spent on the events accompanying Biden's Jan. 20 inauguration, which nixed traditional inaugural balls due to the coronavirus pandemic but included televised performances by Lady Gaga and Garth Brooks.

The inauguration ceremony at the U.S. Capitol, including security, was paid for by the federal government. The money raised by Biden's committee was well below the $106 million raised by Donald Trump for his 2017 inauguration, but exceeded the $53 million raised by Barack Obama for his first inauguration in 2009.

The real reason why, Joe Biden bans export of raw material for the vaccines. When one takes money, has to return the favour in multiples. Sanju_Verma_ SharmaKhemchand khatvaanga themangoindian KamalPremi2 krporeddy Sagar4BJP

So what? Who cares? Fewer people will die as a result of vaccination. Our infrastructure is crumbling. If Biden was bought at least it is by those in a position to help us out of the sewer that PutinsBestFriend NotMyPresident dumped on 🇺🇸 us.

Okay. And?

Any how many Corporations and individuals donated to Trump? Its not like Biden is giving out the Medal of Freedom to donors like Trump did.

Thank you! POTUS & VP have been, and are, doing a great job. And we’re only 89 days into their first term in office.👏👏👏👏

FDA authorizes Pfizer vaccine for 12-15-year-oldsPfizer announced in late March that its clinical trials showed the vaccine was safe and 100% effective in children ages 12-15, similar to the 95% efficacy among adult clinical trial participants. The big question about the vaccines is not their effects, but how long does it last in the long term? Or is it just temporary relief before another wave. These are questions that are never asked. Now before anyone jumps down my throat. I'm not anti-vax. Just don't lie to me Thank God my. Daughter has been waiting to be able to get vaccinated. I'm sure the morons will chime in soon.
