As someone watching EV & battery plants break ground in my state (GA), this is absolutely my take.

Biden's infrastructure and funding bills were basically doing exactly this, and their foreign policy largely aligned with this goal as well.

I was not a huge Biden fan early in his presidency (Breaking the rail union strike and the complete lackluster response to actually prosecuting criminality in the outgoing admin were not my desired policies - democrats are markedly too corporatist in general).

But his infrastructure bills were sorely needed practical steps to doing a lot of good for a lot of folks in the US. There's a reason so many politicians then tried to take credit for them (incl Trump).
