House Oversight Republicans call on Biden admin to address 'ongoing supply chain crisis'
Fox News
House Oversight Committee Republicans have sent a letter to President Biden's Port Envoy John Porcari urging the Biden administration to address and find solutions for the "ongoing supply chain crisis" in the United States.
"Meanwhile, the Biden Administration appears unwilling to recognize the growing supply chain crisis," the letter reads. "Instead, the Vice President is advising parents to buy Christmas gifts early—something much easier for those workers not awaiting a Christmas bonus—and blaming climate change."
The House Oversight Republicans said that over the course of less than three weeks the number of container ships anchored off the coast of California climbed from 40 on Sept. 1 to a "record-breaking" 73 ships days later, adding that some of the "vessels" have been sitting for more than two weeks compared to a 3.5 days average pre-pandemic. The letter said that trains were facing massive backups and delays as well, including a Chicago railyard that was backed up for 25 miles.
