Vice President Harris visits Seattle, discusses climate crisis, economy

Vice President Kamala Harris returned to Seattle Tuesday and delivered a speech about the climate crisis and the economy and what the current administration is doing to combat both.

Harris said that she and President Joe Biden “have committed nearly $1 trillion to build a thriving, clean energy economy for America.”

“One year ago, President Biden and I made the largest climate investment in America’s history,” Vice President Harris said, as noted by her press office. “We are creating millions of good-paying clean energy jobs, we are rebuilding America’s manufacturing, and we are driving American innovation – something this state knows so well.”

Specifically, she was in town officially to mark the one-year anniversary of of the Inflation Reduction Act being signed into law and how it’s helping hold down prices and climate change. President Biden signed the bill Aug. 16, 2022.
