Welcome to another edition of FT Now! As Americans and our elected
leaders remain focused on addressing coronavirus, we're here to make
sure you stay up-to-date on important political developments. New
analysis of Joe Biden's $4 trillion tax plan shows that all Americans
will be hit with the high-taxes plague if he becomes president. Bernie
Sanders can't contain his praise for Fidel Castro, and Congressional
Republicans not only survived impeachment - they got a bump from it.
Surprised? Don't be. Read below for more

Biden Tax Plan Would Raise $4 Trillion, More Than Twice The Hike
Proposed by Clinton in 2016

What Happened:

New, nonpartisan analysis shows that when it comes to tax hikes, no one
would be spared under a President Joe Biden.

Why You Should Care:

The report, published by the Tax Policy Center, says Biden's tax plan
is well to the left of past Democratic presidential campaigns. Not only
that, but "taxpayers of all income levels would see tax hikes..." Not
exactly what we want to hear.

What Happens Next:

While Biden doesn't officially have the nomination sewn up just yet,
it's time to get serious about examining what his policies would mean
for the American people.

Bernie Sanders Doesn't Regret Praising Castro

What Happened:

Speaking of Democratic presidential candidates, Bernie Sanders was asked
point-blank if he regretted praising Castro's literacy program in
Cuba. Shocker: Sanders said no.

Why You Should Care:

Though Sanders may not be his party's nominee for president, it's
worth remembering that a Socialist - and Fidel Castro admirer - came
pretty close in the last two election cycles. What does that say about
the Democratic Party?

What Happens Next:

In all likelihood, Sanders will continue to defend socialist regimes
like Castro's one minute, and insist he condemns them the next. Voters
won't buy it.

Congressional Republicans Earn Higher Approval Ratings Than Democrats
After Impeachment: Poll

What Happened:

A new Gallup poll shows that impeachment didn't provide Congressional
Democrats with the approval bump they were probably expecting.

Why You Should Care:

Impeachment may seem like a lifetime ago, but it's worth remembering
how drastically Democrats overplayed their hand. After everything was
said and done, the president was acquitted and Republicans gained 6
percentage points in their approval ratings.

What Happens Next:

Americans will continue to reject the Democrats' polarizing agenda.
