President Biden is reaching the end of a “week from hell” (as CNN put it). The Biden White House is responding to an approval rating that continues to plummet combined with some big political defeats by now doing a quick pivot to… bridges?

Tune in as I announce how the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will rebuild America’s bridges and provide an update on the progress we've made in the 60 days since I signed the bill into law. https://t.co/UJmpJ81vFP

Biden said that the U.S. “will get back to beating the world again” on infrastructure:

Biden: "When we get this done, we'll get back to beating the world again."

President Biden: "There's nothing beyond our capacity when we work together. When we get this done, we'll get back to beating the world again. We'll once again be number one in the world, instead of where we sit now, at number 13 in terms of the quality of our infrastructure." pic.twitter.com/bykogXR8Pm

Keep in mind though this is the same person who in October of 2020 promised to “shut down the virus.”
