In less than a year since taking office, US President Joe Biden accomplished another legislative feat through the passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill. In remarks celebrating the passage of the bill, Biden took a swipe at his immediate predecessor Donald Trump.
Over the weekend, in his remarks celebrating the passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill by the House, Biden took a swipe at his immediate predecessor. The US leader referenced a long-running joke from the previous administration’s failure to deliver what his administration has just done.
Finally, infrastructure week! I’m so happy to say that, infrastructure week!” said Biden upon approaching the podium.
“I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to suggest that we took a monumental step forward as a nation. We learned that our economy created 5.6 million jobs since we took office on January 20th. Recent unemployment rate of 4.6 percent, two full years earlier than the vast majority of economists projected that would happen. And we’ve just-we’re just getting started,” said the US leader.
During the Trump presidency, there was much talk about “infrastructure week” with the efforts being bipartisan, but the now-former president panned the effort citing that he will not do anything while under investigation by the House committees, according to a 2019 report by the New York Times. The newspaper added that in 2017, during the first effort to establish infrastructure week, Trump closed his Rose Garden event by accusing then-FBI director James Comey of committing perjury related to the probe into the Trump campaign’s links to Russia.
In other related news, the Milwaukee Bucks became the first NBA team to visit the White House in almost five years following their 2021 NBA victory, saying that they were looking forward to restarting what used to be an annual tradition. The last NBA team to visit the White House was the Cleveland Cavaliers, during Barack Obama’s last year as president and prior to Trump getting elected.
Biden, who proudly hails from Delaware, extended some of his remarks to one of the players, fellow Delaware native Donte DiVincenzo.
“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said DiVincenzo. “It was a humbling experience for one, to see somebody from Delaware in the presidency, and two, to be here with the team, with a championship, be here to celebrate that.”
