President Biden to visit Pittsburgh
President Joe Biden is planning a Labor Day trip to Pittsburgh, the White House announced.
The location wasn’t specified, but in a statement, the White House on Monday said Biden “will deliver remarks to celebrate Labor Day and the dignity of American workers.”
Biden will also travel to Milwaukee that day.
Biden visited Pittsburgh while touting his Build Back Better plan last year.
He reinforced that plan in January when another visit to the city coincided with the collapse of Fern Hollow Bridge in Frick Park. During the visit, he praised. the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill passed late last year by Congress.
Construction on a new Fern Hollow Bridge is well underway.
Further details on Monday’s visit were not immediately released.
Last week, Biden announced detailed plans to provide $10,000 in student debt cancellation for millions of Americans — and up to $10,000 more for those with the greatest financial need — along with measures to lower the burden of repayment for their remaining federal student debt.
