Biden, Surrogates Coming to NC

President Joe Biden and two of his Cabinet members (Michael Regan and Gina Raimundo) will visit North Carolina this week to highlight Administration investments in the state, as part of Biden’s “Investing in America” tour. The tour is widely regarded as a precursor to Biden’s expected formal announcement later this year of his intention to run for re-election in 2024.

Here’s the opening week lineup of the “Investing in America” tour in North Carolina:

• President Biden will travel to Durham, North Carolina to visit Wolfspeed, a semiconductor manufacturer, which recently announced a $5 billion investment to build its North Carolina facility and create 1,800 new jobs.

• Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo will travel to North Carolina to visit manufacturers producing fiber optic cable. As part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Administration is making high speed internet available across the country, and using American-made fiber optic cable in North Carolina to get it done.

• Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan will visit North Carolina to discuss how President Biden’s Investing in America agenda is making historic investments to ensure all people and all communities have access to clean water.
