Original Note:
Joe Biden's Tweet is misleading by suggesting it was his administration that created the 988 hotline. This change was proposed in August of 2019, and it was signed into law on Oct 17, 2020 by President Donald J. Trump. States had until July, 2022 to switch over to 988. https://www.fcc.gov/988-suicide-and-crisis-lifeline https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/10/19/925447354/new-law-creates-988-hotline-for-mental-health-emergencies
