"Stacey Abrams began her career in politics at the age of seventeen when she was hired as a typist for a congressional campaign. From there, she worked hard to get into Yale law school and, eventually, was elected into the House of Representatives. In 2018, she became the first Black woman in the United States to be a major party's nominee for governor when she was selected as the Democratic candidate. Although she didn't win that race, she decided to run again in 2022, proving that she never backs down from a challenge. Stacey made it her mission to help ensure that all people who are eligible have the right and ability to vote. Her Fair Fight Action organization helps prevent voter suppression across the country"--.

The president of the United States is able to make a very big difference-not just in the country they serve, but also around the world. They sign bills into law; appoint, or name, people to serve in government positions; and meet with other world leaders to fix problems and build a better future. On January 20, 2021, Joseph R. Biden Jr. took on these responsibilities and more when he became the 46th president of the United States. Joe's journey to the White House was long and sometimes hard, but he never gave up. He kept going and learned important lessons along the way.
