After Barack Obama left his post at the White House on Tuesday, he went on to his first public appearance at the House of Commons. As Joe Biden announced changes to a health plan that would allow 200,000 uninsured Americans to qualify for the new coverage, he took part in the celebration of the Affordable Care Act, Obamacare.
Many Democrats believe the visit will benefit Mr Biden’s even higher recognition of his former employer’s democratic base.

To win the by-election, Democrats have a story, and they have to “say it,” Mr Obama says.

As a result, Ms Jackson’s appointment does not preclude her from going to the Senate; He already seems to have the support of 53 senators, with Republicans Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney breaking ranks in support of him.
