As President Biden Approaches 100th Day in Office, DNC Unveils New Billboard Campaign Anchored in Scranton Thanking Him for Putting America Back on Track
Under Biden’s leadership, more than 1 million jobs have been created and over half of U.S. adults have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose
Today, the Democratic National Committee is unveiling an updated billboard campaign across the country and a new billboard in President Biden’s hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania to thank the president for getting America back on track with vaccines in arms, checks in hands, and more than one million jobs created since he took office.
“As we approach President Biden’s 100th day in office, we want to make sure folks from coast to coast know that America is back on track -- and it’s thanks to the president’s leadership,” said DNC Chair Jaime Harrison. “President Biden has delivered on a number of promises to the American people, including successfully passing the American Rescue Plan, and now millions of Americans are getting vaccinated every single day, stimulus checks are getting into people's hands, and folks are starting to go back to work. There’s still work ahead of us, but with President Biden and Democrats leading us forward, America is on track to build back better than ever.”
Because of President Biden’s leadership:
• Over half of U.S. adults have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, and more than 94 million adults, including 3.8 million Pennsylvania adults, are fully vaccinated.
• 160 million stimulus checks have been delivered. In Pennsylvania, 86% of the adult population and 84% of children, including 8.1 million adults and 2.8 million children, are receiving direct payments of up to $1,400.
• More than a million jobs have been created since President Biden took office and weekly unemployment claims fell last week to the lowest level since March of last year, when the pandemic began. In Pennsylvania, new unemployment claims dropped to 22,184 during the week of April 10, down from 23,360 the week before.
