BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION WEEK AHEADCONTENT TO SHAREHERE is a toolkit that the Democratic National Committee put together in English and Spanish to help you talk to your friends, neighbors, and community about President Biden’s bold and historic Build Back Better Framework, with resources such as message guidance, social media content, graphics, and more. We want to be as loud as possible about this win for the American people, so please share this with your networks and join us in letting Americans know that! @TheDemocrats: Virginia, @TerryMcAuliffe is running for governor to invest in public education, protect reproductive freedom rights, and build a better future for the commonwealth. Vote before polls close tomorrow, 11/2, to keep moving Virginia forward. @KamalaHarris: It’s time to get out and vote! Virginia, make your voice heard before polls close on Tuesday, November 2. This election is too important to sit on the sidelines. @JoeBiden: With the investments in the Build Back Better Framework, there will be no stopping the American people. [VIDEO] NEWS OF THE DAY1. Tomorrow is Election Day in Virginia and New Jersey Election Day is tomorrow in Virginia and New Jersey, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Virginia needs to keep moving forward by reelecting Terry McAuliffe instead of electing an extremist Trump wannabe in Glenn Youngkin.
The choice is clear: Virginians will be supporting Terry McAuliffe because he has a real plan to create jobs, end this pandemic, and give every Virginia child a world-class education. Meanwhile, Glenn Youngkin would roll back abortion rights and bring Donald Trump’s agenda to Virginia. If we elect Governor McAuliffe, Delegate Ayala, Attorney General Herring, and Democrats up and down the ticket, we can continue moving forward. These folks are proven leaders, and they’re fired up to get to work.
Phil Murphy has a strong record and will deliver for the people of New Jersey, while Jack Ciattarelli would send the state backward. Governor Murphy has fought to make New Jersey stronger and fairer for everyone. In first term, he has: Raised the minimum wage; expanded earned sick and family leave; reinstated a millionaire’s tax to give middle-class families a break; funded women’s health care; made pre-K, college, and health care more affordable; and led New Jersey with principled, fact-driven leadership during the pandemic.
Make a plan to vote today and vote for Democrats up and down the ballot!
MESSAGE OF THE DAY2. The Build Back Better Framework Will Build an Economy that Works for Everyone Last week, after months of negotiations, President Biden announced a framework for the Build Back Better Act.
President Biden promised to rebuild the backbone of the country - the middle class - so that this time everyone comes along. He also campaigned on a promise to make government work for working people again. The Build Back Better framework does just that.
This framework is a transformative investment in climate, care and kids that will lower the costs of things families depend on, help people get back to work, and grow the economy.
Specifically, the framework delivers:
AFFORDABLE CARE: The most transformative investment in children and caregiving in generations, delivering: Two years of free preschool for more than six million children per year. The last time America added years of free schooling was more than 100 years ago. Affordable child care so that no middle-income families pay more than 7% of their income on child care. Affordable, high-quality care for older Americans and people with disabilities in their homes, while supporting the workers who provide this care.
CLIMATE ACTION: The largest effort to combat climate change in history that will ensure that we can meet our goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions between 50 and 52 percent below 2005 levels by the year 2030. A MIDDLE-CLASS TAX CUT: A historic tax cut for tens of millions of middle-class families, including giving more than 35 million families a major tax cut by extending the expanded Child Tax Credit and cutting taxes for 17 million low-wage workers by extending the expanded Earned Income Tax Credit. AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE: The biggest expansion of affordable health care in a decade, reducing premiums for more than 9 million Americans by extending the expanded Premium Tax Credit, delivering health care coverage to up to 4 million uninsured people in states that have locked them out of Medicaid, and helping older Americans access affordable hearing care by expanding Medicare.
Build Back Better will improve our immigration system consistent with the Senate’s reconciliation rules.
And, the framework will reduce the deficit. Build Back Better is paid for by rewarding work, not wealth – and ensuring that the super-wealthy and corporations pay their fair share and can’t cheat on their tax bills. No one making less than $400,000 will have their taxes raised.
Along with the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal, which makes historic investments in equity and in tackling the climate crisis, Build Back Better will create millions of good-paying jobs, ensure that American workers, businesses, and farmers can compete and win in the 21st century, and save middle-class families money. President Biden’s agenda will grow the economy so that everyone gets ahead.
President Biden is confident this is a framework that can pass both houses of Congress, and he looks forward to signing it into law. He calls on Congress to take up this historic bill – in addition to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act – as quickly as possible.
Passing the Build Back Better Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal will be the fuel Democrats need to win up and down the ballot in 2022 and beyond. Voters know who delivers for the American people: Democrats. We won in 2020 because we put the American people first, and this is how we’ll win in 2022.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal Will Create Jobs, Fight the Climate Crisis, Advance Equity, and Ensure America Can Compete
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal is the most significant long-term investment in the United States’ infrastructure and competitiveness in nearly a century.
A vote for this bill is a vote to create millions of good-paying union jobs, grow our economy, invest in communities that have too often been left behind, advance equity, fight the climate crisis, and position the United States to compete globally and win in the 21st century.
It includes a number of long overdue wins for the American people:
CLIMATE: From electrifying America’s power grid, building a national network of EV chargers, and making our infrastructure resilient to the impacts of climate change, the bill includes key provisions that advance President Biden’s climate plan and represents an important step forward. ROADS & BRIDGES: Repairs and rebuilds our roads and makes the single largest investment in our nation’s bridges. TRANSIT: Makes the largest federal investment in public transit in history to expand public transit options across every state in the country and replace thousands deficient transit vehicles, including buses, with clean, zero emission vehicles. BROADBAND: Ensures every American has access to reliable high-speed internet through a historic investment in broadband infrastructure deployment. RAIL: Makes the largest investment in passenger rail since Amtrak’s creation. EVs: Builds a national network of electric vehicle (EV) chargers, a critical step in the President’s strategy to fight the climate crisis and in creating good U.S. manufacturing jobs. CLEAN WATER: Delivers clean water to millions of families and eliminates the nation’s lead service lines, including in Tribal Nations and disadvantaged communities that need it most. RESILIENCE: Upgrades our power infrastructure, building new, resilient transmission lines across the country and making the single largest investment in clean energy transmission in American history. LEGACY POLLUTION: Invests in environmental remediation and address legacy pollution in American history by cleaning up Superfund and brownfield sites, reclaiming abandoned mines, and capping orphaned gas wells.
For far too long, Americans have been awaiting this historic investment in our nation’s infrastructure and competitiveness. Finally, Congress has a chance to deliver. It’s simple: a vote for this legislation is a vote to compete, not fall into complacency; to pursue opportunity, not fall into disrepair and decay; to lead the world, instead of letting the world pass us by.
