- Joe Biden botched his big announcement about rail investment on Friday, declaring that the federal government would spend “over a billion, three hundred million, trillion, three hundred million dollars.”
- The president was in Las Vegas, unveiling $8.2 billion in new federal funding for 10 major passenger rail projects across the country. Among them is a new line from the Nevada city to Los Angeles, which when completed – potentially as soon as 2028 – can carry over 11 million passengers a year, powered entirely by renewable energy.
- Biden mocked his predecessor for repeatedly promising Infrastructure Week, but failing to deliver.
