President Biden seemingly struggled once-again to board the steps to Air Force One Wednesday as he departed to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to push his new $2 trillion infrastructure spending package.
The Biden administration pulled back the curtain Wednesday on a $2 trillion infrastructure spending package that will “address climate and environmental justice” while “creating millions of good jobs.”
“Addressing infrastructure, climate, & environmental justice together to create millions of good paying jobs is the right combination to meet America’s challenges I’ll work with @POTUS to pass a big, bold bill to drive America forward for decades to come,” posted Sen. Schumer on social media.
