"It's been a rough few, hard years for hardworking Americans. A lot of families, things are still tough. But there are bright spots for America."

Speaking Tuesday afternoon at the SK Siltron CSS factory in Bay City, Biden used the venue as a platform to tout his domestic and international policies and emphasize his own sense of economic optimism.
