What you'll hear the president say tonight is that we really have a once in a generation opportunity right now to seize the moment, to make these investments. To really not only create jobs but create jobs for the long haul," said Kate Bedingfield, White House Communications Director.

Biden will reveal the $1.8 trillion American Families Plan, press for action on expanding access to health car and on police reform legislation.
