11:54:56Now Playing(Sept. 7) President Joe Biden redoubled his push for a $550 billion public works bill on Tuesday, using flood-stricken areas of New York and New Jersey as a backdrop to underscore the threat climate change poses to critical services.
“Every part of the country is getting hit by extreme weather, and we’re now living in real-time what the country’s going to look like,” Biden said during a briefing with New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, Senator Cory Booker and local officials in Hillsborough Township.
Biden, who last week toured areas of Louisiana devastated by Hurricane Ida, will also visit Queens, where there were many deaths after Ida flooded basement apartments. The New York subway system and commuter rail services were ground to a halt, with commuters posting video on social media of water pouring into tunnels and onto trains.
