While the presidential American will not take place until November 5, 2024, in just under 17 months, the campaign is well launched. And on Saturday, the current tenant of the White House chose to place the helm on the left. “It is high time that the very rich started paying their fair share,” said Joe Biden during a speech in the key state of Pennsylvania.

In the Philadelphia conference center, in front of an audience made up of trade unionists, the American president launched to cheers that he was convinced that “this country is about to take off”. He has thus praised his economic choices since taking his place in the Oval Office.

Biden proud of ‘CHIPS’ and ‘Inflation Reduction Act’

“The investments we have made over the past three years have the power to transform this country in the next five decades,” he said, referring to the “CHIPS and Science Act”, a law that provides nearly 53 billion dollars for production and research in the microchip sector, and the ” Inflation Reduction Act “, pharaonic investment plan in green energy. If the republicans prevail in 2024, they “will attack your jobs” by reversing its reforms, he argued.

Courting the vote of the working classes, Joe Biden also attacked the richest. “I don’t mind that they are billionaires. They just have to pay their fair share! he exclaimed. “Simply put: it’s time for big business and the very wealthy to start paying their fair share.”

The AFL-CIO trade union confederation, which sponsored this meeting, officially gave him its support for 2024 on Friday. his rival Donald Trump was partly able to seduce.
