YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Joe Biden’s home state of Pennsylvania is taking center stage as he seeks to capitalize on Donald Trump’s absence from the trail, targeting a 2024 swing state where a contentious steel deal and persistent unease over the economy have magnified voter concerns about his agenda.
The trip, timed to follow Tax Day, aims to highlight the differences between the president’s tax and economic agenda and the policies of Trump who oversaw tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations in office, according to Biden’s campaign. Biden is calling for a 25% minimum income tax for billionaires and for increasing the minimum tax paid by major US and multinational corporations. Biden says under his plans, Americans making under $400,000 won’t pay more in federal taxes.
Biden’s economic message will be put to the test during the three-day swing that includes a visit to his hometown Scranton, and events in the Pittsburgh area — steel country — where Nippon Steel Corp.’s contentious deal for United States Steel Corp. has rankled union allies. He’ll close out the trip Thursday in Philadelphia, a city where he will need to turn out voters if he hopes to carry the state.
