President Biden and his team plan to fan out after the State of the Union address to amplify his message and sell his agenda with visits to key battleground states, the start of a month of campaign-style barnstorming now that the general election contest has begun in earnest.
Mr. Biden will head to Philadelphia on Friday and Atlanta on Saturday for campaign speeches, hitting two of the half-dozen swing states that he won in 2020 and is counting on to defeat former President Donald J. Trump again in November. Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Arizona and Nevada, two other states in that same category.
The cabinet will join in the effort as well, as the secretaries of the Treasury, interior, agriculture, labor, health and human services, education energy and veterans affairs as well as various agency directors hit the road. The officials will talk about policy goals like protecting abortion rights and promote the administration’s accomplishments, such as strong job growth. U.S. employers added 275,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department reported on Friday.
“Three years ago, I inherited an economy on the brink,” Mr. Biden said in a statement after the jobs report on Friday. “Now, our economy is the envy of the world. We added 275,000 jobs last month — nearly 15 million since I took office.”
