LIVE UPDATES: Biden visits Plains, pitches his $4T program in Gwinnett

President Joe Biden is traveling to Georgia on Thursday to commemorate his first 100 days in office in a state that where U.S. Senate runoff victories put his expansive legislative agenda in reach.

The Democrat met with former President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn for about 45 minutes earlier Thursday before headlining a 6 p.m. drive-in rally outside the Infinite Energy Arena in Duluth.

The visit comes on the heels of his first address to a joint session of Congress, which he used to outline a $1.8 trillion social spending plan to expand family leave, health care programs and preschool and college education through increased taxes on the wealthiest Americans.

It’s the third in a trio of ambitious proposals that amount to roughly $6 trillion in spending and vastly expand the scope of government – a package he couldn’t have pursued without the victories of Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, which erased Republican control of the U.S. Senate.

7:45 p.m. Before heading back to Washington, Biden told reporters he enjoyed his visit with former President Jimmy Carter. “It was great to see President Carter. And we sat and talked about the old days,” he said. “His health has gotten better.”

7 p.m. After appearing on stage with Warnock and Ossoff, Biden departs Gwinnett County to return to Dobbins Air Reserve Base.
