    Biden angered anti-abortion activists and pleased abortion rights groups by [not including] a ban on federal funding of most abortions [known as the Hyde amendment]. The real fight will be in Congress where Democrats may not be able to keep the Hyde amendment from being added to spending bills as it has been for decades.
    ...
    Biden's budget assumes that reductions in taxes approved in 2017 under President Donald Trump will still expire in 2025, as is current law. If that happens, however, that would violate Biden's campaign to not raise taxes on Americans making $400,000 or less.
