Biden has tapped Gene Sperling, a longtime Democratic economic policy expert, to oversee the implementation of his stimulus package, the White House announced Monday.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo should seriously consider whether he can continue to govern effectively as he faces multiple sexual harassment allegations. Pelosi stopped short of saying that Cuomo (D) should resign.

Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) to step down after he said he didn’t feel threatened during the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol — but would have been concerned had the mob been made up of Black Lives Matter or antifa protesters. Johnson defended his comments Monday, saying he didn’t believe they were racist.
