HOWELL, MI (MPRN)— President Joe Biden was in Michigan Tuesday, making the case for his major legislative initiatives.
Biden made his pitch to a crowd at a union hall in Howell. He said the trillions of dollars he wants to invest in physical and human infrastructure will create jobs and make the U.S. more competitive.
With his plan stalled in Congress in part over disagreements among progressive and moderate Democrats, Biden said the stakes are too high to hold his agenda hostage for political gain.
“To support these investments is to create a rising America… an America that is moving. To oppose these investments is to be complicit in America’s decline.”
Biden spoke in an area that strongly backed Donald Trump last November, but the President noted that 81 million people voted for him, because he vowed to transform the U.S. economy.
