By Cullen McCue

President Biden will be taking time out of his last days in the White House to award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and leftist billionaire financier George Soros.

The medal, which constitutes the nation’s highest civilian honor, is given to individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public or private endeavors, the White House said in a statement.

Biden announced Friday that he had nominated 19 total recipients for the reward, four of whom will be honored posthumously. Additional nominees include Academy Award-winning actor Denzel Washington, U2 lead singer Bono, Argentinian soccer superstar Lionel Messi, and Bille Nye, among others. Robert F. Kennedy and Jane Goodall are among those receiving the award posthumously.
