Inside the Plan to Sell Biden’s Infrastructure Proposal

April 5, 2021 · 7:11 am ET · Leave a Comment

Politico: “The massive outreach campaign comes as the Biden administration attempts to move a behemoth spending package across the goal line, just weeks after winning approval from Congress for its $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief package.”

“As one person close to the White House put it, in their mind, Republicans will be viewed as ‘profoundly out of touch’ if they don’t get on board with backing the next round of spending. … Part of the sales pitch to Americans will be an appeal to suburban women, who have been particularly battered by the pandemic, leaving the workforce in droves and often carrying the burden of caretaking amid schools and childcare center closures.”

Axios: Soros group pledges $20 million to pass Biden plan.
