In Pa. visit, Jill Biden asks Allentown's Hispanics to put faith in husband to deliver on promises

ALLENTOWN, Pa. — With her husband’s polling numbers sinking over his stalled agenda, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden asked Hispanics in Allentown on Wednesday to keep their faith that President Joe Biden will deliver on his promise to make their communities front and center of his economic recovery plan.

“I want to tell you there is hope,” Biden said during a visit to The Learning Hub, a Head Start facility located in Center City Allentown. “That’s why we are fighting for this infrastructure plan. “

Biden pointed out that the president’s American Rescue Plan was the first part of that effort, giving eligible persons $1,400, extending unemployment insurance, increasing child tax, earned income and child and dependent care tax credits and providing help to small businesses.

Now, she said, her husband is working to pass the infrastructure bill or American Jobs Plan, which passed the Senate with bipartisan support but is hung up in the House amid fighting in the Democratic majority.
