Biden to make rare trip to red state for infrastructure pitch in Louisiana
With congressional Republicans largely united against his plans, Biden is reaching beyond them to voters for backing.
He’s scheduled to visit Lake Charles
as well as New Orleans to talk about federal investments in water projects —
a potentially popular idea in a coastal state increasingly threatened with inundation spurred by climate change.
The president plans to tour one of the city’s aging, troubled facilities that houses water purification equipment and turbines for drainage pumps.
Administration officials estimate that fixing Louisiana’s water infrastructure would cost $7 billion over two decades.
