President Joe Biden delivers on yet another of Donald Trump’s false promises


When Donald Trump was first elected president, he bragged about bribing Carrier Global to save 800 factory jobs in Indianapolis rather than outsource them to Mexico. The reality was that by the end of his term, Carrier still laid off more workers than they kept – about four times as many jobs than what the former guy bragged about saving.

The former guy’s bribe didn’t even succeed in keeping Carrier from taking their jobs overseas in the end – and it was just one of the companies that led to the manufacturing sector of the U.S. economy going into a recession by the end of 2019 – well before the COVID pandemic shut everything down.

President Biden, however, is delivering on Donald Trump’s promises to factory workers – as a billion-dollar electric vehicle plant is coming to Ohio – using funding set aside by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act last fall and following incentives for people to buy electric vehicles set in the Inflation Reduction Act.

The new $4.4 billion plant being built by LG and Honda is only one that’s on the horizon, with construction scheduled to begin in 2023 and other projects in the works by General Motors and Samsung also taking place in the manufacturing belt, it’s clear that jobs are coming back to areas of the country that have suffered for years under Republican policies. Democrats are running on jobs, justice and healthcare and just two years in, we’re seeing them deliver – that’s why we need to do all we can to keep Democratic control of Congress and governorships in 2022.
