Biden visits Ohio to promote $1 billion Great Lakes clean-up push
CLEVELAND (Reuters) -U.S. President Joe Biden flew to Ohio on Thursday to tout $1 billion in funding from the bipartisan infrastructure bill signed last November aimed at cleaning up and restoring environmentally damaged areas in the Great Lakes region.
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 bill 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," Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan told reporters aboard Air Force One.
Biden will visit sites in Cleveland and Lorain.
