The audio shows Klain raving about Biden’s focus on infrastructure, saying there is “too much talk about bridges” and not enough about “eggs and milk.” Politico reported.
“I think the president talks too much about bridges,” Klain said in the audio. “He does ribbon-cutting events on the bridge two or three times a week. And here is the bridge. Like I said, when you go to the grocery store, they have eggs and milk. .It costs money, but the fact that there is a bridge does not [inaudible]. ”
“He’s not a congressman. He’s not running for Congress,” Crain continued. “It’s kind of a fool’s errand, I think.” [it] This too has not been covered much. Because it’s a terrible bridge. It’s a bridge, and how interesting is that bridge? It’s kind of interesting, but not very interesting. ”

Klain expanded on his comments in a subsequent interview with Politico, but did not discuss the nature of the criticism.
“The president’s most effective economic message is the contrast between which side he is on and his compassion for the people. [pinch] “Praising his policies to overhaul household finances and cut costs and increase incomes, especially achievements that have abstract benefits, is not persuasive to voters,” Klain told the outlet.
White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates referred to Klain’s remarks.
“As Ron says, President Biden is running around the country on the State of the Union message, blocking the trickle-down policies that Republican officials have proposed on behalf of the people, while increasing the growth of the middle class and reducing costs such as prescription drugs. “We’re emphasizing that we’re fighting to cut back on special benefits, like Medicare cuts and tax giveaways to big corporations,” Bates told Politico.
President Biden is focused too much on infrastructure and needs to address family concerns, a former chief of staff said.
Biden focused on infrastructure in March, spending several days touring Wisconsin and Michigan and announcing $3.3 billion for infrastructure projects in underserved areas.
“We will rebuild our roads, fill cracks in our sidewalks, and create safe spaces to live, work, play, breathe clean air, and shop at local grocery stores stocked with fresh, healthy food.” We’re creating it. It’s food,” he said at an event in Milwaukee at the time.
“You’ve lived and felt the decisions that were made decades ago,” Biden said. “Today, today, we are making decisions that will change your lives for decades to come.”
