Sure he did.

President Biden said on Friday that he would extend the national emergency that was first declared in March 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The additional authority had been set to expire on March 1.
The decision, contained in a letter from Mr. Biden to Congress that the White House made public, comes as a wave of coronavirus cases driven by the highly transmissible Omicron variant recedes in the United States, and many states and localities ease pandemic restrictions.
But the pandemic is taking a continuing toll on the country. As of Friday, more than 75,000 Americans were hospitalized with the virus. Deaths, which lag case counts by as much as several weeks, are increasing in 14 states, and remain at almost 2,300 a day nationally.
“The Covid-19 pandemic continues to cause significant risk to the public health and safety of the nation,” Mr. Biden wrote in the letter. “More than 900,000 people in this nation have perished from the disease, and it is essential to continue to combat and respond to Covid-19 with the full capacity and capability of the federal government.”
A national emergency conveys special powers. It frees the federal government from abiding by some legal constraints, allowing it to spend additional money and more easily take certain actions.

Get ready citizens. Biden’s handlers are preparing to halt civil liberties and hinder the midterm elections.
Prepare your supplies and defenses now.
sounds like Canadian collusion ....
"Certain actions" - oh, that's rich. One look north will give you an idea of what "actions" the NYT has in mind just as soon as they think they can get away with them.
hmmm... this extends DJT’s national emergency...
and a lot can be done in a Presidential national emergency, by both the good guys and the bad guys..
But methinks that president biden admires Trudoh’s
‘manliness’ and thinks he can get away with also suspending our rights.
That might be the scare event that wakes up the sheep who haven’t been paying attention.
… and prepare to take the offense that will ultimately be necessary to restore Liberty.
We've had 24 months to prepare. As a country, we ain't doing shit about it. All hail the leftists!
Well, of course he did.
No one expected him to let go of tyrannical power easily, did they?
This should not be an unchallenged, one-man executive decision.
Which we know now is highly politicized and profit-driven by pharma
Or we are no better than Canada.
Where are our “representatives” in Congress?
Traitor Roberts?
Of course he did. Anything that would help his DOJ to impose 2022 election oversight under cover of a fraudulently declared Pandemic Emergency, which will allow blue cities and states to use any means necessary to steal elections in 2022 and challenge any results.
Never let a non-emergency go to waste.
What is the emergency again?
I have been hearing something about Russia but isn’t that pre-emergency?
Yup
Yeah, we don’t want the poor govt to be suffering from legal restraints, just ask the Canadian kulaks.
Geaux Brandon!
That might be the scare event that wakes up the sheep who haven’t been paying attention.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think the scare event has been a long one, ever since Bitem “won”. It would be interesting to get a good idea of how many dems have woken up and smelled the... covfefe.
Near as I can tell, there aren’t any good guys.
What “emergency” is the doddering old fool muttering about?
In Chicago yes and the emergency there is that of brutal , record setting murders.
So what, exactly, IS "the full capacity and capability of FedZilla"?
To tell us to wear masks, get the jabs, keep our distance, and avoid crowded places? What else has that feckless and useless organization called "the federal government" done? The government's CDC was found to be lying regarding data for vaccine adverse events.
The government has blocked all useful therapeutics to make sure their pharma partner companies get rich. Why hasn't the "full capacity and capability" of the government researched the efficacy of IVM, HCQ, Nigella Sativa, Zinc, Quercetin, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, NAC, and Melatonin?
Why do you need to extend the so-called "emergency" when you said you were going to "shut the virus down"? Why haven't you "shut it down" by now, you maggot?
FUJB. This is a power grab just like Trudeau up north.
