Biden takes his sales pitch for bipartisan infrastructure plan to Wisconsin after shaky start
CNN
President Joe Biden will argue the bipartisan infrastructure proposal would benefit working and middle-class families around the country when he travels to Wisconsin on Tuesday, according to a White House official.
During his remarks in La Crosse, Wisconsin, the President is expected to talk about how the deal was a result of months of negotiations that brought Democrats and Republicans together. He'll also stress how the investments from the plan -- $1.2 trillion over eight years -- would benefit those in small towns across the country and in rural America, "not just in the biggest cities on the coasts," the official said. It will be Biden's first time pitching the bipartisan infrastructure proposal to the American people since nearly derailing the deal in off-the-cuff remarks last week. While speaking to reporters at the White House, Biden said he wouldn't sign the bill he had just negotiated unless another sweeping proposal of Democratic priorities landed on his desk as well.Venezuelan authorities are investigating opposition leader Maria Corina Machado for alleged treason after she expressed support for a US bipartisan bill that seeks to block Washington from doing business with any entity that has commercial ties with the government of Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro.
Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump’s pick to lead the intelligence community, was briefly placed on a Transportation Security Administration list that prompts additional security screening before flights after her overseas travel patterns and foreign connections triggered a government algorithm earlier this year, three sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
