Vice President Kamala Harris is making visits all over the country to promote the administration’s $2 trillion American Jobs Plan as the proposal is in constant discussion. This week, Harris made a visit to North Carolina to discuss the plan.
Harris visited the state Monday to talk about the infrastructure bill that the administration hopes to pass through Congress. The vice president stopped by Greenboro and High Point, with Governor Roy Cooper joining her. A little before noon, Harris made an address at the Guilford Tech Community College to talk about the jobs plan and the future of the community college.
In her remarks, Harris said that their aim is to bring jobs “closer to home,” and added that no American should need to work more than one job to pay their bills and feed their families. Harris also touched on education after high school, affordable child care for working families, and rebuilding the water infrastructure of the country. Harris explained that the $2 trillion plan would focus on replacing lead service lines in the water infrastructure so Americans would not drink lead-contaminated water.
“Good jobs are what the president and I will create with the American Jobs Plan,” said Harris. In terms of education after high school, Harris explained that there would be a variety of educational options made available through the plan. The options provided would be different from the usual four-year college degree and will require at the most, six months after graduating from high school.
Cooper later accompanied Harris to the electric school bus manufacturer Thomas Built Buses on the same day. Harris spoke with several people at the facility during her visit.
In other news, following the recent shooting in Indianapolis, Harris called for an end to gun violence again. The shooting occurred last week at a FedEx facility, where the gunman shot eight people and wounded several others. Five of the wounded were hospitalized, one of them sustaining critical injuries, according to police spokesperson Genae Cook.
The gunman is believed to have taken his life after the shooting occurred. Indianapolis Deputy Police Chief Craig McCart said that the gunman randomly shot four people at the carpark before entering the facility and upon entering, continued to open fire.
