IN THE STATES: President Biden and Dems Close Out Historic Year

December 23, 2022

In the states this week, local news highlighted President Biden’s leadership on the world stage and how his economic plan is providing relief right before the holidays by lowering costs and helping generate a record number of good-paying jobs — yet another example of how the Biden-Harris administration has delivered for working families this year. 

Earlier this week, President Biden welcomed Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the United States ahead of his address to Congress. Here are a couple of examples of what people are reading on their front pages about the historic visit: 

Local headlines also showed gas prices dropping to the lowest level since July 2021. The results speak for themselves: President Biden worked to help lower gas prices, and now Americans are paying less at the pump, just in time for holiday travel.

Also this week, local headlines are highlighting how President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act is combating climate change by helping the U.S. Postal Service purchase a new fleet of electric vehicles. 

Finally, President Biden and Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law are providing much-needed upgrades to infrastructure in states across the country, combating climate change along the way.
