President Biden Increases Pressure On GOP Lawmakers To Support Infrastructure Bill
Associated Press reports, “With a badly aging [I-10 Calcasieu River Bridge] as his backdrop, President Joe Biden stood in reliably Republican Louisiana [yesterday] to pressure GOP lawmakers to support his $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan — and yet express a willingness to compromise on the corporate tax hikes he’s recommending to pay the cost. Biden leaned into the stagecraft of the presidency by choosing to speak in the city of Lake Charles, which has been battered by historic storms and is home to a 70-year-old bridge that is two decades past its designed lifespan.”
