With a country in turmoil, many say President Biden has tough issues to face in order to bring the country back together.

“Priority number one is the virus. I think that is the one thing that has us all nervous and scared,” Vince Pinson said.

“Definitely unemployment. The is messing over a lot of people,” Brian Arceneaux said.

“I’m much more interested in unity,” Anne Cadwalader said.

Most folks agree that in order to tackle the problems in this country that President Biden must focus on unity.

“I think Biden is a good enough politician to work together to get both sides to solve problems,” Frank Rohwer said.

“I hope he does take it slowly and surely and doesn’t make any major changes that continue to divide the country,” Pinson said.

“It is not going to be easy, but I hope he has a good term and everything works out the best for everyone, and I’m praying for the best,” Arceneaux said.
