WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden unveiled plans for allocating nearly $42.5 billion to build out high-speed internet networks, touting it as a way his administration aimed to help all Americans — even those who did not vote for him — ahead of his 2024 reelection bid.
“I promised to be a president for all Americans, whether or not they voted for me or whether or not they voted for these laws,” Biden said at the White House on Monday, kicking off a week of events promoting “Bidenomics.” “These investments will help all Americans. We’re not going to leave anyone behind.”
The president and his aides are looking to refocus attention on Biden’s legislative accomplishments, in particular his economic agenda, with polls showing lagging voter enthusiasm for Biden’s reelection campaign.
