Washington — President Biden is awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, to Hillary Clinton and 18 others "who have made America a better place," the White House announced Saturday.

Bill Nye was recently awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of his dedication to science education.

Ralph Lauren, Hillary Clinton, Jane Goodall, Denzel Washington, and Bono are among 19 people who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Joe Biden in a ceremony (January 4) at the White House.

Denzel Washington is one of nineteen celebrities that has been honored with a Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Joe Biden. In a video of Washington receiving the highest civilian honor, he holds the medal to his neck, nearly emotional, as Biden fastens it. Afterward, Washington turns around and embraces the president.

The former Obama administration staffers who host Pod Save America said that while President Joe Biden found plenty of candidates worthy of the Medal of Freedom, their former boss wasn’t on the list.

Jon Favreau, a host of “Pod Save America,” highlighted in a recent podcast episode that President Biden “did not return the favor” after being awarded the Presidential Medal by former President Obama.

The hosts of Pod Save America criticise President Biden's Presidential Medal of Freedom choices, questioning his exclusion of Barack Obama and mocking perceived favouritism in recipient selection, highlighting potential flaws in the medal's significance.

The hosts of Pod Save America hosts couldn’t stop cackling while covering President Joe Biden’s medal ceremony in a Tuesday episode, seeming utterly dumbfounded at how Liz Cheney received recognition over Barack Obama.
