More good news for President Biden
Expectations of President Biden have been rather low from the beginning, one reason is partly due to who his predecessor was – and Donald Trump’s catastrophic handling of the COVID pandemic in particular cost him reelection. President Biden also took office with a fairly slim Democratic majority in both the House and the Senate, which makes most votes down to the wire – even with Vice President Harris needed to cast the tie breaking vote. However, President Biden has frequently managed to deliver on fairly progressive legislation over and over.
At the beginning of his term, Democrats passed historic legislation for infrastructure and we’re continuing to see the benefits it has brought across the country. Among them is an $8.5 billion investment in Arizona, a swing state that the president narrowly won back in 2020 but has consistently shown Democratic gains ever since
The computer chip manufacturer Intel which is based there will also receive another $11 billion in loans in order to produce advanced silicon wafers – boosting domestic production of high-tech chips in the US from 0-20%, an advantage that will also make America safer domestically when it comes to managing cyber terrorist threats. This is a massive win not just for Arizona, but for the US by every possible measure and another reason why we need to not just re-elect President Biden, but re-elect him with a Democratic trifecta on Nov 5.
