  • Biden is expected to identify the bipartisan infrastructure bill as a key legislative success of his administration and link supply chain issues to rising inflation.
  • Biden has been pushing Build Back Better as a solution to supply chain problems this week. He believes that the social care provisions of the bill will help Americans return to work and ease inflation.
  • Democrats have called for BBB to be passed by March 1 but that deadline is optimistic.
