U.S. President Joe Biden used a visit to Ohio on Thursday to tout $1 billion in funding for cleaning up and restoring environmentally damaged areas in the Great Lakes region, vowing to continue his push to rebuild America and help U.S. workers.
The trip, which came amid rising risks of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, is part of the White House's efforts to showcase the benefits of the infrastructure law ahead of crucial midterm elections where the Democrats hope a results-oriented message will allow them to retain power in Washington.
"This is a shot in the arm of the 25 sites along the Great Lakes that are listed as areas of concern," Regan told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to the site. "It's going to allow the most significant restoration of the Great Lakes in the history of the Great Lakes." he said. "We're going to accelerate cleanup of sites across six states."
