Joe Biden argued that now is the time to pass this $2tn package because “our infrastructure is crumbling”.
The president said in Pittsburgh, “We have to move now because I’m convinced that, if we act now, people are going to look back in 50 years and say this is the moment when America won the future.”
During his infrastructure speech, Joe Biden removed a piece of paper from his pocket to read off the US coronavirus death toll as of today.
The paper also included the president’s private schedule, and it showed the president held an hour-long meeting on “national emissions” earlier today.
