During a press briefing on Wednesday, Karine Jean-Pierre, the principal deputy press secretary for the White House, said Biden will āmake a clear case that his economic plan is working.ā
āHeāll talk about how far weāve come as a country because of the actions weāve taken over the last four months, turning the tide on the pandemic, creating 500,000 new jobs each month on average, cutting unemployment claims by more than a third, raising wages and leading the … recovery,ā Jean-Pierre said.
She said Biden will discuss why ānow is the right momentā for workers in places like Cleveland to pass his āBuilding Back Betterā infrastructure and families proposals, which she said would make āhistoric generational investments … that will create good paying union jobs, expand economic opportunities for all Americans and help us out-compete the rest of the world in the 21st century.ā

“I appreciate the historic nature, I really do,” she said of the moment. “But I believe that you know being behind this podium, being in this room, being in this building, is not about one person.”
Thursday’s trip will be Bidenās second time Ā in Ohio since becoming president. In March 2021, he stopped by the James Cancer Research and Treatment Center at Ohio State University, recounting his administrationās progress in overseeing the delivery of COVID-19 vaccines to Americans.
