Cherries and infrastructure on Biden's plate in Michigan

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — President Joe Biden is using a visit Saturday to a Michigan cherry farm to talk up his bipartisan infrastructure package and additional plans for investing in families and education.

He arrived midday and was greeted by Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in Traverse City, which is hosting the National Cherry Festiva l, an event that attracted Presidents Herbert Hoover and Gerald Ford in the past. Biden also plans to tour a cherry farm in nearby Antrim County.

Biden’s trip to Michigan is part of a broader campaign by the administration to drum up public support for the infrastructure package and other polices geared toward families and education.

First lady Jill Biden is going to Maine and New Hampshire on Saturday, while Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to visit a union training center in Las Vegas.
