“The president’s obsession and preoccupation with going and schmoozing with people in Glasgow, Scotland, to talk about the Green New Deal is completely lost on the American people, who are caring more, a lot more, about the prices that they’re paying to heat their homes,” Senate Minority Whip John Thune of South Dakota said.
There are other agenda items for the president’s trip that may be of immediate concern to people back home. For instance, Sullivan highlighted Biden’s intent to “cement progress” on establishing a global minimum tax.
“He’ll be laser-focused on supply chains and energy prices because he knows that these issues impact working families here in America. And in advancing the Build Back Better World initiative — the B3W initiative — he will show how a high-standards, climate-friendly alternative to the Belt and Road Initiative can help American firms and American workers compete globally on every aspect of infrastructure, from physical to digital to health,” Sullivan said.
While the president is abroad, Vice President Kamala Harris and other top Democrats will be out in Virginia trying to help former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s efforts to return to the governor’s mansion. It’s a contest that will attract Biden to a rally in Arlington, Va., Tuesday night, in one of his last formal events before departing for Europe.
The rally site, Virginia Highlands Park, is a bustling, densely populated part of Northern Virginia near Ronald Reagan National Airport and the Pentagon and just blocks away from where Amazon is building its East Coast headquarters. It is the kind of place Democrats tend to wrack up big margins to offset losses in rural parts of Virginia and closer margins in swing areas, like the Richmond suburbs.
