200 days down – and America is moving forward once again.

This Purple Heart Day, we remember and honor the sacrifice, valor, and grace of all those who were wounded or paid the ultimate sacrifice on the battlefield.

We can’t just build back to the way things were before COVID-19, we have to build back better. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal and my Build Back Better plan will grow our economy, and create an average of 2 million good-paying jobs every year over the next decade.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal is a historic, once-in-a-generation investment in our nation’s infrastructure. It will create good-paying, union jobs repairing our roads and bridges, replacing lead pipes, and building energy transmission lines. We can’t afford not to do it.

The Delta variant is surging, but we have the power to stop it. Get vaccinated.

Economic growth is the fastest in 40 years. The Biden plan is working.

On my first day in office, I directed the Department of Education to pause federal student loan repayments for millions of Americans until September. The pause has been a critical lifeline — that’s why today, my administration is extending the pause until January 31, 2022.

We’re now the first administration in history to add jobs every month of our first six months in office.

Yesterday the Senate took additional steps toward passing the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal. It’s a bill that will help end years of gridlock in Washington, create jobs, and put America on a new path to win in the 21st Century global economy. Let's get it done.

More than 4 million jobs created since we took office. It’s historic — and proof our economic plan is working.

Fifty-six years ago today, our nation passed the Voting Rights Act and took a big step forward in our pursuit of a more perfect union. But half a century later, voting rights are under attack. We’ve got to pass federal legislation to protect the sacred right to vote.

Rich Trumka was a dear friend, a great American, and a good man. I will miss him as will the countless workers whose lives he made better and the labor movement he led with daring vision. As I told his family after we heard the news, Jill and I send our love — today and always.

We have to leverage a whole-of-government effort to lift up workers and strengthen American leadership in the clean cars of the future. To set that all-out effort into motion, I’m signing an executive order with a target of electrifying 50% of all vehicles sold by 2030.
