On Politics   Wednesday, February 24 Hey, OnPolitics readers! It's a busy Wednesday so I'm changing up this newsletter's format and getting you the headlines ASAP. What you need to know: The Biden administration rolled out another tactic in its plan to tame the coronavirus pandemic Wednesday.  Team Biden announced that it would distribute more than 25 million masks to over 1,300 community health centers and 60,000 food pantries and soup kitchens in an effort to reach underserved communities as part of the president's promise to make the pandemic response more equitable.  But that's not all that happened: • Uh oh: Two key Senate panels postponed their planned vote on Neera Tanden, President Joe Biden's pick to head the White House Office of Management and Budget, as her nomination faced headwinds on Capitol Hill. • Is that a flip? Mitch McConnell blocked Merrick Garland for Supreme Court but backs his attorney general nomination. • Election season never ends: Mitt Romney says Donald Trump would win the Republican nomination if he ran in 2024. 👇Scroll down to see more of today's must-read political news.  Wherever you are, I'm wishing you blue skies and sunshine  – Mabinty Where Congress stands on coronavirus legislation Though President Joe Biden had hoped the coronavirus relief legislation would be bipartisan, Democrats on Capitol Hill are eager to pass it, even without Republican support.
