The “Invest in America” tour will send President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Cabinet officials around the country highlighting the billions of dollars worth of infrastructure projects made possible by major legislation the president championed and signed into law. The tour begins this morning with a White House event announcing a $40 billion initiative to expand broadband internet access.
