Hello from Howell, Michigan, ahead of @POTUS stop this afternoon at this sprawling @OE_324 union training campus.

@POTUS @OE_324 Biden is pitching Build Back Better plans in swing district Trump narrowly won last November, represented by 2-term Dem @RepSlotkin

@POTUS @OE_324 @RepSlotkin Biden campaigned for Slotkin in closing days of her first 2018 bid. She was one of the dozens of Dems he called that Election Night to congratulate detroitnews.com/story/news/pol…

@POTUS @OE_324 @RepSlotkin But Slotkin is among the moderate Dems now who wanted Biden / Pelosi to allow a BIF vote last week, and who remains undecided on the larger reconciliation bill.

@POTUS @OE_324 @RepSlotkin Slotkin will join Biden today at the event. In fact, she's likely to get some one-on-one time on the motorcade ride from airport. "She’s not a guaranteed vote on this. And she’s going to say that to him," a source said

Slotkin has been pushing for childcare policies that are likely to be included in the reconciliation bill. Also wants more support for EVs that is already part of BIF (two GM plants in district)

Biden outside allies also pushing Dems like Slotkin to support both plans. Here's new @BuildingBack_US ad running here

“If we get this done we’re going to breathe new life into the economy, and breathe cleaner air,” @POTUS says here as he makes the case for both bills. “We need to get this done.”
