‘The Biden Economic Plan Is Working’: Biden

President Joe Biden touted his record on the economy in a Feb. 15 speech at a union hall in Lanham, Maryland as speculation mounts as to whether the 80-year-old former senator will seek a second term.

“Inflation is coming down, take-home pay for workers has gone up over the [past] several months. We’ve got more to do, but I’m telling you, the Biden economic plan is working because of y’all,” the president said to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) members in attendance.

Biden made the case that legislation passed under his leadership is spurring long-range economic improvement in the country.

In line with this, he discussed the construction of electrical charging stations across the United States through $5 billion in funding made available by the November 2021 infrastructure bill.

“Any charging station installed in the United States of America, guess what, it’s going to have to be made in America, the products,” he said.
