8:20Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden got his giant coronavirus stimulus bill. Now, he wants to make sure he gets credit.
The president will hold a ceremony on Friday to sign his $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan into law, kicking off a victory lap that aides and allies describe as a campaign to persuade the nation that he and fellow Democrats are responsible for preventing millions of Americans from enduring poverty and illness.
Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and their spouses plan to fan out across the country and highlight Americans receiving stimulus checks and coronavirus vaccines, as well as businesses that have been able to stay afloat with government loans. That includes presidential travel Tuesday to suburban Philadelphia, where Biden is expected to tout the benefits of his bill.
At the same time, the White House is mobilizing a bipartisan coalition of state and local leaders, business groups, economists and unions to urge their constituents to take advantage of the new federal aid. Cabinet members will also join the effort, targeting local media to call attention to the benefits for schools, vaccine distribution and food assistance, a White House official said.
And the administration is planning a series of theme days drawing attention to each of the 10 ways the bill will help Americans, from providing direct checks to Americans to providing support for small businesses and to reopen schools, White House deputy chief of staff Jen O’Malley Dillon said in a senior staff memo sent Wednesday and obtained by Bloomberg News.
