U.S. President Joe Biden marked his 100th day in office with a trip to Georgia on Thursday, visiting former President Jimmy Carter and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, and pitching his plans to spend trillions of dollars to rebuild the U.S. economy.

"It's a once in a generation investment in America.

It's the biggest jobs plan in this country since World War II." After limited time on the road due to the health crisis, the president is stepping up his travel plans.

His Georgia trip included a drive-in rally near Atlanta, with additional campaign-style stops planned in Pennsylvania and Virginia in the coming days.

"The American Jobs Plan is a blue-collar blueprint to build America.

That's what it is." The president is appealing to Americans to support his (quote) "blue-collar blueprint" for change which he outlined in his first speech to Congress the night before.

The legislation would invest a combined $4 trillion in families and infrastructure to rebuild the middle class.

While in Georgia, Biden met with Carter and wife Rosalyn at their home in Plains, as well Georgia's two new Democratic U.S. senators, Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, whose elections in the Republican-leaning state secured Democrats control of the U.S. Senate.

Biden’s visit comes as Georgia emerges as a hot spot in the nationwide battle over voting rights.

Over 100 U.S. corporations as well as civil rights activists and sports leagues have spoken out against voting curbs passed by Georgia's Republican state legislature in the wake of November’s electionBiden has forcefully opposed the restrictions, calling them "sick" and "un-American."

House Passes Stopgap Funding Bill to Avert Shutdown; Senate Vote & Biden’s Approval Next

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trump’s opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions. #GovernmentShutdown #StopgapFunding #HouseVote #DisasterRelief #FarmAid #DebtLimit #SenateApproval #PresidentBiden #RepublicanLeadership #TrumpOpposition #Oneindia #OneindiaNews Also Read Government Shutdown: What It Means for Federal Employees and Social Security Payments :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/government-shutdown-impacts-on-federal-employees-011-4021087.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's New Demands Result in Collapse of Bipartisan Government Funding Plan Ahead of Deadline :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/government-funding-plan-collapses-trump-demands-011-4020029.html?ref=DMDesc US Congress Approves Temporary Funding Bill to Prevent Government Shutdown Until December :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-congress-passes-temporary-funding-bill-avoid-shutdown-011-3945067.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.362~GR.125~
