Biden using jobs to justify bold, progressive action at every turn

preview

Illustration: Sarah Grillo/AxiosPresident Biden has found a key tool for selling the most progressive parts of his agenda during his first 100 days: make them all about jobs.Why it matters: Long considered a centrist Democrat, Biden has had to court and cater to his party's progressive wing to maintain support in a narrowly divided Congress. Talking jobs also has the benefit of resonating with the moderates and conservatives he needs in 2022 and beyond.The big picture: From coronavirus relief and infrastructure to climate change and immigration, the president has continually argued each proposal will be an economic driver and jobs creator — addressing a key vulnerability Democrats have faced in pushing progressive solutions previously.Climate initiativeCoronavirus reliefBiden's $1.9-trillion-dollar "American Rescue Plan" included huge increases in money for direct payments, state and local governments, vaccine distribution, schools and enhanced unemployment insurance, among other provisions.InfrastructurePoliticians in both parties have long argued better infrastructure will drive job creation throughout the economy, particularly manufacturing.ImmigrationBiden has repeatedly defended the importance of immigration by referencing how Dreamers and other immigrants , arguing they're key drivers of entrepreneurship and population growth.The bottom line: The Biden administration knows a key part of getting his priorities through Congress is successfully branding them with the American people.The White House Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) has prepared a detailed analysis arguing that big new investments in climate-friendly energy and infrastructure are crucial to U.S. competitiveness and to avoid increasing damage to the economy.Why it matters: The forthcoming report is the most detailed White House effort yet to explain the economic case for its clean energy R&amp;D and deployment proposals.The E.U. is planning to allow fully vaccinated Americans to visit and travel within its borders this summer, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told the Sunday. Why it matters: Von der Leyen didn't specify when the rules will officially be relaxed, but the prospect of opening up tourism to Americans displays a buoyed confidence in the both the American and E.U. vaccination campaigns. President Biden is leaning toward nominating Mark Gitenstein to be his ambassador to the European Union and Julie Smith as his envoy to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, people familiar with the matter tell Axios.Driving the news: Some Biden advisers want to have the EU and NATO ambassadors announced ahead of Biden’s first foreign trip as president, when he heads to the United Kingdom for the G-7 and then Brussels for a NATO summit in June.Sign up for Mike Allen’s daily Axios AM and PM newsletters to get smarter, faster on the news that matters.
