President Biden Brings His Rural America Investment Message to Southern Minnesota
NORTHFIELD, Minn. (KVRR/AP) — President Joe Biden is in Minnesota.
He stopped by a family farm in Northfield, just south of the Twin Cities, to announce over $5 billion to support rural communities.
It will go toward better adapting agriculture to climate change, as well as expanding high-speed internet access and improving infrastructure.
The funding comes from infrastructure and inflation reduction laws which Biden helped champion through Congress.
He told the crowd that instead of exporting jobs overseas for cheaper labor, now we’re creating jobs here and expanding American products to sell overseas.
The crowd applauded when Biden said, “When the middle class does well, the poor have a way up and the wealthy still do very well. It’s everybody does better. When rural America does well, when Indian country does well, we all do well.”
Biden is holding a fundraiser in the cities tonight featuring many of the state’s top Democrats including Gov. Tim Walz.
