Today, President Biden is in the battleground state of Pennsylvania with two aims: to highlight the impact of the infrastructure bill he signed into law last year and to help Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman raise money in one of the most competitive Senate races in the country. Biden’s first stop was the site of a bridge that collapsed in Pittsburgh nearly nine months ago and that is rapidly being rebuilt. The president said the infrastructure law is ushering in an “infrastructure decade — a headline on my watch.”
Later, Biden plans to head to Philadelphia for the event with Fetterman, who faces Republican celebrity physician Mehmet Oz in November. Fetterman was among the Democratic officials who greeted Biden upon his arrival in the state and attended the infrastructure event.
