Biden administration officials are crisscrossing the nation in August — with three in Illinois this week — to highlight President Joe Biden’s accomplishments in advance of the November mid-term elections.
In a memo about the “Building a Better America Tour,” White House advisers Jen O’Malley Dillon and Anita Dunn said the administration is using August to throw a spotlight on Biden’s actions to, among other things, deal with climate change and clean energy; inflation, with gas prices declining; jobs, with unemployment low; signing a law designed to curb gun violence; and moves to decrease prescription drug costs.
