President Biden's infrastructure plan aims to invest over two trillion dollars in America's infrastructure, focusing on transportation, broadband, and clean energy. The plan is expected to create millions of jobs and eliminate carbon emissions from the power grid by 2035. However, it faces political challenges due to proposed tax increases, including raising the corporate tax rate. Local leaders, like Charleston's mayor, emphasize the need for infrastructure repair. Biden will promote the plan in his first cabinet meeting. The video concludes with a call to follow NBC News for updates.
