Biden shores up support from environmentalists with $600million of climate adaptation projects
The impacts we’re seeing from climate change are only going to get more frequent, more ferocious and more costly,” Biden said Monday, during a visit to the Lucy Evans Baylands Nature Interpretive Center and Preserve, adding that his efforts to boost resilience would turn “peril into progress.”
During brief remarks, Biden announced more than $600 million for climate adaptation projects as part of his visit to the San Francisco Bay Area, a three-day trip that also was slated to include several political fundraisers.The official trip served the dual purpose of allowing Biden to showcase his legislative record on the environment while also bolstering his political position with a key constituency ahead of his reelection bid. In recent weeks, Biden has made similar moves to highlight his record on a range of issues including gun control, racial equity and LGBTQ+ rights — presidential actions his aides say help create a sharp split screen with the infighting and indictments dominating the Republican presidential primary.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/06/19/biden-climate-change-california-2024-election/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_source=twitter
