Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday will travel to North Carolina, a state President Biden lost in the 2020 election, to give her first major economic address as vice president and promote a $20 billion investment the administration is proposing to convert the country’s entire fleet of gasoline and diesel-powered school buses to electric vehicles.

In a wide-ranging economic speech at Guilford Technical Community College, she is expected to promote the administration’s infrastructure plan as the “largest jobs investment our country has made since World War II,” according to aides.

“I believe you shouldn’t have to work more than one job to pay your bills and feed your family,” she is expected to say, according to early excerpts from her speech provided by her office. “One good job should be enough.”

As a senator representing California, Ms. Harris introduced the Clean School Bus Act to assist school districts in replacing diesel school buses with electric buses, her aides said.


"The speech will help position Ms. Harris as one of the main faces advocating the American Jobs Plan, which so far has been handled mostly by five cabinet secretaries tasked with selling the president’s $2 trillion infrastructure proposal.
Administration officials said she would travel the country in the coming weeks to continue promoting the plan."

"Selling a plan that enjoys broad bipartisan support across the country — if not in Congress — is perhaps a less onerous task for the administration’s No. 2 than her main portfolio: leading a diplomatic effort with Mexico and Central American countries to address the root causes of migration as well as the crisis at the border."

1. They will never address it, but

I believe for most working families, the high price of real estate is the problem. $15 is NOT a living wage and even that is a huge struggle to get passed.

One cannot live on $15 / hr when rents and mortgages are so expensive.

Just my two cents.

I Kamala!!!!!

TY, Budi!

3. Housing, whether it be soaring out-of-reach costs, or not enough of...

Yes.

4. Absolutely!

Haven't municipalities realized that jumbo homes with prices well out of the reach of average Americans should only be a given percentage of new builds?

2. This is a great strategy, selling the program to the American people

Get them on board make the infrastructure so popular that congress will have to act. Otherwise there will be a price to pay in 2022.


GO, Madam VP Kamala!
