Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to New Hampshire Friday to tout President Biden’s push to expand broadband internet as part of the $2.25 trillion American Jobs Plan.
Speaking at the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative in Plymouth, Ms. Harris said the federal government has a key role to play in making sure rural parts of the country have access to high-speed internet.
“We have a legacy of doing this work in America,” Ms. Harris said. “We have a legacy of saying, ‘We are going to have a commitment, a national commitment, to making sure everyone has access to the basic things they need.’”
