President BidenJoe BidenAfghanistan’s ambassador on whether Afghans will trust a U.S. president again: ‘Not soon’ Biden heading to Michigan to promote agenda amid Democratic infighting Manchin clashes with fellow Democrats over fossil-fuel demands MORE will travel to Michigan this week to promote his economic agenda amid infighting within the Democratic party. 

“On Tuesday, October 5, the President will travel to Howell, Michigan to continue rallying public support for his bipartisan infrastructure bill and Build Back Better agenda, which will grow our economy by investing in working families, paid for by repealing tax giveaways to the rich,” the White House said in a statement on Sunday. 

The Build Back Better agenda includes $550 billion of new spending in an infrastructure bill and another sweeping package that includes social spending on child care, expanded health care benefits and climate initiatives — largely paid for by increases in corporate and wealth taxes. 

“I believe I can get this done,“ Biden said before leaving to travel to Delaware on Saturday. “I support both of them and I think we can get both of them done.”
