Biden traveling to voting rights hot spot Georgia to promote plans to rebuild economy

WASHINGTON: President Joe Biden marks his 100th day in office with a trip to Georgia on Thursday, visiting former President Jimmy Carter and pitching his plans to spend trillions of dollars to rebuild the U.S. economy.

After limited time on the road due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Biden is stepping up his travel schedule after his first address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday. He will have a drive-in rally near Atlanta on Thursday and additional campaign-style stops are planned in Pennsylvania and Virginia in coming days. During his speech to Congress, Biden appealed to Americans to support his "blue-collar blueprint" for change, saying his administration would invest a combined $4 trillion in families and infrastructure to rebuild the middle class.
