While most of the attention has been on former President Donald Trump and the GOP as the Republican National Convention takes place in Milwaukee, President Joe Biden and other Democrats have touted policy wins like building bridges and efforts to address housing costs.
The Biden administration on Wednesday announced $5 billion for major bridge construction projects, many of which were lauded by local lawmakers earlier this week.
“There are currently about 3,000 fewer bridges in poor condition than when our administration began, and today we are proud to announce funding to repair or replace 13 of America’s largest and economically significant bridges,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a statement.
