Biden Says He'll Push for More Bank Regulation

The video discusses the safety of bank deposits and the need for stronger regulations to prevent bank failures. It highlights the challenges of passing such regulations in a divided Congress, with Republicans holding the House and some Democrats opposing stricter rules. The President aims to clarify that recent measures are not a bailout, as funds come from the FDIC, and emphasizes that depositors are protected while bank managers and investors are not. This sets a new precedent in Washington regarding financial protections.
