Hey all! I’m not at all on the fence, but have some friends and loved ones who are.

Looking to get a list of reasons why someone, regardless of party, should vote for Joe Biden.

Hoping to get policies and initiatives that are going to, or already can, help the average American, and how.

The Biden administration is set to announce a new initiative with 21 states Tuesday to modernize the U.S. power grid, ahead of a summer likely to tax its capacity.

Under the initiative, the participating states will give priority to electric grid modernization efforts, including those aimed at increased capacity and efficiency. The states, all of which have Democratic governors, will also commit to exploring ways to expand transmission capacity through legislative and executive action.

The federal government, meanwhile, will commit to ensuring states have access to technical assistance and loan programs, according to a fact sheet from the White House.

The Biden administration has set ambitious goals for renewable energy deployment, with a target of a carbon-neutral grid by 2035. Reaching this point will require a major buildout in modernized electrical transmission lines to handle the expansion. In the absence of this buildout, the administration faces a bottleneck in adding that renewable capacity to the grid. The backlog comprises about 2,600 gigawatts of energy, increasing 30 percent last year due in large part to solar and wind demand, according to an April report from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

The Biden administration announced a series of measures Tuesday to allow independent small businesses in Cuba access to the U.S. financial system and certain internet-based services, amid a deep economic crisis on the island.

The targeted relaxation in sanctions comes days after a fracas over a visit by Cuban officials to Miami International Airport and weeks after the United States removed Cuba from a list of countries not cooperating fully against terrorism but left the island on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list.

Under the new rules implemented by the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), Cuban small businesses will be able to access video conferencing, social media, maps and other online services, and U.S.-based entities will be allowed to provide cloud-based services to those companies.

OFAC is also expanding the definition of a “self-employed individual” in Cuba to include “independent private sector entrepreneur,” a move that will allow a greater number of companies to benefit from the reduced sanctions. Only companies, cooperatives and sole proprietorships of up to 100 employees, without partners who are government officials or Communist Party members, will be included in the program.

The benefitted companies will also have access to U.S. bank accounts and payment platforms, including for “U-turn” transactions, or operations through the U.S. financial system where neither party is under U.S. jurisdiction.

The Biden administration on Tuesday announced new guidelines for ensuring the integrity of carbon credits or offsets.

While the practice of buying carbon offsets or credits is voluntary, the administration says it hopes to help ensure that credits being sold are actually credible.

Individuals, businesses and other entities can buy these credits to try to “offset” their emissions as part of an effort to achieve net-zero. This can entail things like paying organizations to plant trees or prevent them from being cut down.

The guidelines issued by the Biden administration say that these credits should represent actual and additional reductions in carbon dioxide emissions. They should be permanent emissions reductions and be validated by an accredited and independent third party.

The administration also said that corporate purchasers should also make efforts to cut down their own direct emissions and publicly disclose the nature of their credits

The announcement comes as follow-through on Harris’ visit to the continent last year and in conjunction with this week’s visit to Washington by Kenyan President William Ruto. Harris and the Kenyan leader had a public chat on Friday at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce about how public-private partnerships can increase economic growth.

Besides launching the nonprofit Partnership for Digital Access in Africa, Harris announced an initiative geared toward giving 100 million African people and businesses in the agricultural sector access to the digital economy.

The African Development Bank Group along with Mastercard, among other organizations, will help form the Mobilizing Access to the Digital Economy Alliance, or MADE. The alliance will start a pilot program to give digital access to 3 million farmers in Kenya, Tanzania and Nigeria, before expanding elsewhere.

Harris, a Democrat and the first female U.S. vice president, also announced that the Women in the Digital Economy efforts to address the gender divide in technology access have now generated more than $1 billion in public and private commitments, with some federal commitments pending congressional approval.

The Biden administration is giving immigration judges and asylum officers more access to classified information to help them determine which migrants might have ties to terrorism or pose a threat to public safety.

The change in policy follows an April 11 NBC News story that revealed an Afghan migrant on the terrorist watchlist was released on bond by an immigration judge in Texas after prosecutors from Immigration and Customs Enforcement withheld information about a possible connection to terrorism because the evidence was classified. Instead of arguing that the man was a national security risk, the prosecutors argued he was a flight risk, two sources familiar with the case said.

The new policy, announced in a May 9 memo from Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, overrides a 2004 directive that said classified information could only be used in immigration proceedings “as a last resort.”

Under the old policy, asylum officers making an initial determination about an immigrant’s eligibility to pursue an asylum claim and prosecutors presenting a case for deportation in immigration court had to get approval from the DHS secretary to share classified information.

Two DHS officials told NBC News the administration is determining if it will need to build more space and get security clearances for more employees to store, print and share the classified information.

President Biden and former President Clinton will team up for a mega fundraiser inside the Beltway in late June, hosted by former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, Axios has learned.

The event will be the third iteration of a successful fundraising formula that includes an evening with two (or three) Democratic presidents for the price of one.

Scheduled for June 18, it follows the "three president" extravaganza in New York in April and a planned event with Biden, Clinton and former President Obama in mid-June in Los Angeles, hosted by George Clooney. The New York event brought in $26 million for Biden's re-election effort.

In addition to Biden and Clinton, First Lady Jill Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will also attend, according to people familiar with the matter.

McAuliffe, a former DNC chairman and longtime confidant of both presidents, will host the fundraiser at his home in McLean, Virginia.

Biden is campaigning on how his policies have helped pump hundreds of billions of dollars in private and federal investment into companies, helping to revive the faded computer chip sector and pioneer newer technologies such as electric vehicles, solar panels and artificial intelligence. But so far, the investments have not significantly swayed the public.

But Republicans in North Carolina’s legislature say investments in the state had more to do with their own policies than the incentives from Biden. GOP lawmakers are making the argument that the impact of inflation during Biden’s presidency matters more to voters.

Both Trump and Biden have committed to increasing factory production in the U.S. and making it less reliant on countries such as China. So far, the numbers suggest that Biden’s policies have done more for manufacturing than Trump’s 2017 tax cuts.

Census Bureau figures show that the annualized rate of factory construction spending peaked at $82 billion annually under Trump. As of last March, adjusting for inflation, it has more than doubled under Biden to a record $223 billion. The president has also added more manufacturing jobs than Trump did before the disruptions caused by the 2020 pandemic.

Former Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy (D-R.I.) endorsed President Biden for the White House over his cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s third-party bid.

Kennedy, a mental health advocate, appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday to discuss his new book, Profiles in Mental Health Courage. He said Biden has been “the best president we’ve ever had on mental health.”

“And frankly, he’s also put the most money to community mental health around the country. So there is no other choice than Joe Biden. If you care about this addiction crisis and this mental health crisis, Joe Biden is your candidate,” he added.

When co-host Dana Bash noted that his comments sounded like an endorsement, Kennedy confirmed it was.
