WASHINGTON — When President Joe Biden visits Illinois on Wednesday, at a family farm in Kankakee, he’ll talk about how the “Putin price hike” has contributed to inflated food and gas costs — perhaps scorch “ultra MAGA Republicans” as he’s been doing these past days — and then, in Chicago, highlight the growth in union jobs on his watch in a keynote at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers convention.
With soaring inflation, Biden played defense in a Tuesday speech, outlining steps he is taking to bring prices down. “I want every American to know that I’m taking inflation very seriously, and it’s my top domestic priority.”
