One of America’s greatest strengths is our ability to attract talented scientists and engineers from around the world. This is how we have led the world in science and technology for over 75 years, and this is how we win the competition of the 21st century.

It’s an opportunity for companies to tap into the global marketplace of talent, employ promising young minds from around the world, and increase competitiveness by working with people who bring different perspectives & therefore the potential for possibilities previously unseen.

Today, I’m proud to announce our plan to supercharge the Cancer Moonshot as a central effort of the Biden-Harris Administration. Our goal is to cut the cancer death rate by at least 50% over the next 25 years. It’s bold, ambitious, and completely doable.

History has never been kind to those who have sided with voter suppression over voting rights. And it will not be kind to those who fail to defend the right to vote. Congress must debate and vote on the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Today, I am ordering the federal government to purchase half a billion additional at-home rapid tests with delivery starting in January. We will be getting these tests to Americans for free — and we will have a website where you can get them delivered to your home.
