Megyn Kelly’s comment on this instagram post hits differently now. Her 13-year-old daughter is “an excellent ball date”?

Remember just a few years ago, when Bidenomics was so controversial: Investing in America, treating workers with respect, and promoting competition? Building our economic strength from the bottom up and the middle out was already showing results. Ah, simpler times…
