Biden's High-Speed Rail Plans Gain Momentum with $3 Billion Investment

The White House corrected the transcript of President Joe Biden's speech after he appeared to flub spending numbers during an event in Las Vegas. Biden cited an inaccurate spending figure tied to his infrastructure bill before attempting to correct himself. Critics online characterized it as a gaffe, with some outlets noting the White House's official transcript corrected the numbers. The total spending figure associated with the infrastructure bill is typically $1.2 trillion, not the $1,000,300,000,000 listed in the transcript. Biden also highlighted the jobs that new railway investments will bring, particularly among union workers.
