Democrats are not only handing out freebies to the flood of illegal aliens pouring into the country, but they’re trying to do the same thing with voters in red states, according to a new report.
Below is an excerpt from Axios:
President Biden’s infrastructure and clean-energy bills are pumping some $250 billion into Republican and swing states, allowing Biden and his cabinet to regularly announce job-creating goodies in places that could help him win re-election.
Why it matters: For a president who’s trailing Donald Trump in a half-dozen swing states he needs to win, the announcements — part of nearly a half-trillion dollars in projects that have been unveiled nationwide — give him a chance to win voters town-by-town, trip-by-trip.
So far the swing-state haul includes $10 billion in grants and investments in both Michigan and North Carolina — and a combined $46 billion in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona and Georgia.
As of early March, the White House had announced some $478 billion worth of projects from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
However, Axios notes that so far only about half the funds available for direct investments have been used, so Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and multiple Cabinet members are expected to take more trips to battleground states to promote even more billion-dollar grants and loans.
Last week Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm dropped some goodies into Michigan, announcing a $1.52 billion loan guarantee to restart a nuclear facility and visiting a Heinz-Kraft relish factory that received a $13 million grant, Axios revealed.
Granholm also told Axios last week, “I hate to acknowledge this, as a former governor of Michigan, but we know that all these battery investments are going to red states.”
Granhold also touted that even though Republicans are opposed to Biden’s economic programs, “those governors aren’t going to want to see the investment — the Inflation Reduction Act — reversed.”
On Thursday, Kamala Harris was dispatched to Charlotte, North Carolina, where she announced “the eight recipients of $20 billion in grants from the $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) under the clean-energy law,” Axios wrote.
Also on Thursday, Granholm was in Georgia, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg went to Texas and Labor Secretary Julie Su and Education Secretary Miguel Cardona traveled to Nevada, all to promote Biden’s spending priorities.
