The 44th U.S. president — who narrated Netflix's "Working: What We Do All Day" — faced stiff competition from fellow nominees Morgan Freeman, Mahershala Ali, Angela Bassett and Pedro Pascal

Former President Barack Obama is now a two-time Emmy winner after beating out fierce competition on Sunday for outstanding narrator in Working: What We Do All Day.

The 44th president, 61, faced a slew of nominees known for their standout voices, including Morgan Freeman (Our Universe), Mahershala Ali (Chimp Empire), Angela Bassett (Good Night Oppy) and Pedro Pascal (Patagonia: Life On The Edge Of The World).

Obama secured the victory in the same category he won last year for his work on Netflix's five-part documentary series Our Great National Parks.

Michelle and Barack Obama's daughter Malia Obama debuted a new name as her Hollywood career heats up, helping distance herself from the former president and first lady

Malia Obama is voting for a fresh start.

As her Hollywood career takes off, Barack and Michelle Obama's oldest daughter has dropped her last name in favor of her middle name, officially going by Malia Ann for her newest film project "The Heart."

Fans did a double take after Malia Obama's pen name was revealed in the Sundance Institute's "Meet the Artist" spotlight video, which introduced her as filmmaker Malia Ann, seemingly in an effort to distance herself from her powerful parents, who have also launched careers in entertainment with Higher Ground Productions.

Fourteen years ago today, I signed the Affordable Care Act into law.

Afterwards, one Republican member of the House called the ACA the “most dangerous piece of legislation ever passed in Congress.” Another predicted the country would “never recover from it.” But then something else happened: it actually worked.

Since the ACA was passed, the percentage of uninsured Americans has been cut in half. And thanks to the investments the Biden-Harris Administration has made to build on the ACA, more than 21 million Americans now have access to quality, affordable health care.

Today, young people are staying on their parents’ plans until they’re 26. Americans with pre-existing conditions are no longer being denied coverage. Seniors and people with disabilities are paying less for prescription drugs. And Americans everywhere are switching jobs and starting their own businesses without worrying about losing their insurance.

In so many ways, the Affordable Care Act has become part of our lives, changing the way we think about health insurance. But that doesn’t mean we can take it for granted.

Right now, some Republicans are still trying to repeal and gut the ACA – including calling for cuts that could put insurance out of reach for tens of millions of Americans.

We’ve come too far to let that happen. President Biden has proven that he’ll keep fighting to build on the ACA, and we need to fight with him. Because health care is not, and never will be, a privilege. It’s a right – and there’s so much more we can do to make it more affordable and effective for everyone.
