Democrats are readying a full court press to sell President Biden’s bipartisan infrastructure package to voters and protect their most vulnerable members in next year’s midterms.
On Tuesday, Biden participated in a virtual grassroots event with Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison where the two discussed infrastructure legislation. The committee projected images highlighting the infrastructure plan on a hotel in downtown Baltimore ahead of Biden’s visit to the Port of Baltimore on Wednesday.
State parties are also getting in on the action, promoting the package and targeting Republicans who voted against it.
Wisconsin’s Democratic Party and the state’s labor leaders held a press conference Wednesday to sell the plan to Wisconsin voters and hit incumbent Republican Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) for his vote against the legislation. Meanwhile, the North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania Democratic Parties held virtual press calls to sell the legislation.
“It is part of our job to let people know exactly what Congress did for them in making this extraordinary investment,” said Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.). “We have a lot of educating to do.”

The loss in Virginia last week sent shivers down Democrats’ spines, echoing the 2009 loss the party suffered in that year’s gubernatorial race. On top of that, Democrats are trying to sell signature legislation - a recently passed infrastructure bill and a sprawling social and climate spending bill still being negotiated - just like they did with the Affordable Care Act in 2009 and 2010.
Those struggles come amid dwindling approval ratings for President Biden, whose figures are below those then-President Obama suffered from in 2009. Obama's dismal approval ratings helped spark the Tea Party movement in 2009, while backlash against Biden is fueling a nascent but mushrooming groundswell among Republicans and independents over education issues.

They will claim things are really bad because they couldn’t get this bill passed.
(6 months over 5% inflation? Sound transitory to you? Me neither)
Everything these aholes are doing, is screwing our country up more and more.
So they get crushed in the 2021 elections.
Their response?
DOUBLE DOWN.
Let the lying begin!
Wait a minute… I thought the plan was already wildly popular. Why the need to sell it?
FTA-—Wisconsin’s Democratic Party and the state’s labor leaders held a press conference Wednesday to sell the plan to Wisconsin voters and hit incumbent Republican Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) for his vote against the legislation.
Brand new roads and bridges with three digit tolls.
How much money to automate the ports? Oh, zero. Ok, shiny new machines with lounge chairs for the “work to the rule” unions.
Liars gonna do what liars do.
F-Joe Biden.
What was passed was only a modest amount of infrastructure. But it you like waste and graft, money given to special interest groups, you will love this bill. Lots of thou shalts too. Tax by the mile pilot, mandated technology which doesn’t exist to disable a car if the car’s computer believes you might be impaired, etc, etc.
“We have a lot of educating to do.”
They always do as their ideas SUCK, no one wants them, they’re expensive and harmful to everyone but the DNC & Unionistas who will be getting scads of kickback dollars!
How stupid do they think TAXPAYERS are? Obviously, very! Grrrr!
They are going to have a hard time "selling" and educating us on projects that will not even be identified for years. So they are selling us a bunch of false promises.
This is the entire purpose of the bill:
Promote DemonicRats and their policies, and demonize Republicans and their policies.
Demonic propaganda = infrastructure.
This is just a redo of the “shovel ready” jobs gambit.
The percentage of dollars that actually build physical stuff is probably well under ten percent.
The rest disappears.
Follow the magic!
“Democrats start blitz to sell infrastructure”
When I first saw this headline, I thought it was about them selling our infrastructure to China.
Amen.
