Democrats Need to Prevent Unforced Errors on Infrastructure, Climate and China

Leslie is joined by Scott Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), a partnership established by some of America’s leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers union.

For over 16 years, Mr. Paul and AAM have worked to make American manufacturing a top-of-mind issue for voters and our national leaders through effective advocacy, innovative research, and a savvy public relations strategy.

Leslie and Scott discuss how Democrats are currently at risk of committing three unforced errors, on Infrastructure, Climate, and China Competition, with major political and policy implications.

On the infrastructure front, they're not properly selling the bipartisan bill that is massively popular with voters, because somehow only 24 percent are aware it's actually a law.

When it comes to the topic of renewable energy production in the U.S., Senator Manchin’s refusal to go along with ANY climate related legislation is having real-time consequences. Solar manufacturing will disappear from our country without action!

Finally, in regards to competition with China, the United States needs to 'go big' beyond semiconductors to position ourselves for the future, and the Biden administration shouldn’t lift tariffs that are in place.
