Joe Biden’s industrial policy is delivering new manufacturing jobs—and it could be key to his 2024 reëlection bid.
Biden kicked off the “Investing in America” tour with a visit to Durham, North Carolina, near where Wolfspeed, a local manufacturer of semiconductors, has pledged to spend five billion dollars to build a new factory.
The Dalton plant happens to be in Georgia’s Fourteenth Congressional District, which is represented by Marjorie Taylor Greene, the far-right Republican and conspiracy theorist, who last week took to Twitter to defend, the National Guard airman who is accused of leaking classified documents about Ukraine. Last year, Greene referred to the Inflation Reduction Act as “the energy disaster Green New Deal.” Since then, she has been conspicuously quiet about what is happening in her own district.
The location of new manufacturing projects in red districts isn’t a design feature of the Biden plan, which provides corporations with financial incentives for making investments that satisfy the terms of its legislation regardless of the exact location. Rather, the Sun Belt gets a lot of sun and wind, which makes it attractive to green-energy producers.
