President Joe Biden launched a publicity tour touting his newly passed $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, but political operatives in both parties question whether it will move the needle for Democrats in the midterm elections.
Though Biden has not yet signed the bill into law, the White House is sending him to multiple cities across the country to deliver remarks on how the administration's investments will improve those particular communities, with the first coming last week in Baltimore.
Biden opened by discussing rampant inflation, which he called "one of the most pressing economic concerns in the American people."
"Too many people remain unsettled about the economy and we all know why. They see higher prices," he stated. "Everything from a gallon of gas to a loaf of bread costs more, and it's worrisome even though wages are going up."
