Biden misquotes Reagan's 'Morning in America' ad while plugging infrastructure package
Fox News
President Biden misquoted one of former President Ronald Reagan’s most famous campaign ads during a Wednesday speech while promoting the potential economic benefits of his two-pronged spending plan on infrastructure and related projects.
Reagan’s economy-focused television ads during his 1984 re-election bid opened with the phrase "It's morning again in America" while touting signs of economic improvement during his first term in office. "The last time energy and the economy grew at this rate was in 1984 when Ronald Reagan was telling us it’s an American morning," Biden said during the speech. "This is going to be an American century." Biden's speech at McHenry County College in Crystal Lake, Illinois, was his latest effort to tout his infrastructure push as a generational overhaul of the U.S. economy. He argued passage of his "American Jobs Plan" and "American Families Plan" would build on rapid job growth and an economic resurgence that has occurred since he became president in January.More Related News
