Biden took a victory lap today as he signed into law a $550 billion infrastructure package. “Too often in Washington the reason we didn’t get things done is because we insisted on getting everything we want,” the president said.
President Joe Biden did on Monday what his immediate predecessors couldn’t: sign a sweeping infrastructure bill into law and with a bipartisan crowd of lawmakers cheering him on as he did so.
The signing of the bill comes at a precarious time for Biden, coinciding with a sputtering of his approval rating that has created a mortal threat to his party’s hold on its slim majorities in Washington.questions about whether the president will get a moment like Monday again. But the White House was eager to turn the script, with officials again encouraging comparisons to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal.
“The world has changed. And we have to be ready,” Biden said at the White House ceremony on the South Lawn. “My fellow Americans, today I want you to know, we hear you, and we see you. The bill I’m about to sign into law is proof that despite the cynics, Democrats and Republicans can come together and deliver results.”
“That’s why economists say this bill is counter-inflationary, which is so important right now,” Portman said on Monday.
