President Joe Biden plans to highlight his economic vision in a visit to Colorado’s third congressional district, taking a shot at MAGA Republicans like Rep. Lauren Boebert. The President will be visiting the world’s largest wind tower manufacturer, CS Wind, in Pueblo where he will tout the company’s $200 million expansion that was made possible by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. The visit to Boebert’s district is seen as a direct jab at the conservative lawmaker, who faces a tough reelection bid in 2024.
Biden’s administration is keen on highlighting how his economic policies, known as Bidenomics, are creating jobs and opportunities. The President also plans to hit Boebert and her party for opposing the Inflation Reduction Act, which she called “dangerous for America.”
Boebert, in turn, criticized Biden’s economic policies, blaming them for rising inflation and high prices in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District. She also called out Biden for not promoting her Pueblo Jobs Act, which she claims will create 1,000 new jobs in the area.
Biden’s clash with Boebert is just one example of his confrontations with House Republicans, as he brings the fight to their front doors to highlight his domestic agenda. Despite his efforts, the President’s approval rating on handling the economy remains low, according to a recent Gallup poll.
The President’s trip to Pueblo coincides with the Treasury Department’s report on the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act, which has led to significant investments in Colorado and job creation. The Biden administration is keen on emphasizing these investments and job opportunities to showcase the positive impact of his policies.
The rivalry between Biden and Boebert dates back to incidents such as Boebert’s interruption during Biden’s State of the Union address and her negative headlines following an incident at a Denver production of “Beetlejuice: The Musical.” It remains to be seen how this ongoing conflict between the President and the Republican congresswoman will play out.
