in Washington, DC — On Thursday, President Joe Biden will visit North Carolina to announce new investments totaling $82 million, which will establish high-speed internet connections to 16,000 homes and offices.
The reelection campaign of Joe Biden has placed a high priority on capturing North Carolina and its sixteen electoral votes in the current presidential race.
There will most certainly be a rematch in 2024 between the Democrat and the Republican, who lost the state by a razor-thin margin of 1.34 percentage points in 2020.
While visiting Raleigh, North Carolina, the Democratic president intends to highlight the ways in which his administration is bridging the digital divide and helping low-income neighborhoods and companies.
As a result of inflation reaching a four-decade high in June 2022, polls reveal that Biden's economic record has been lacking.
Even if inflation has been declining since then, Biden's popularity rating is still lower than it was when he took office.
The government claims to have reduced expenses for families by offering 880,000 North Carolina homes cheap internet connection.
The North Carolina internet infrastructure will be expanded and funded with a total of $3 billion from the federal government. By the end of 2026, the administration predicts that 300,000 more people in the state will have internet connection.
