President Biden is pushing the boundaries of how most Americans think of infrastructure.
In a speech on Wednesday, he laid out his vision for revitalizing the nation’s infrastructure in broad, sweeping terms: evoking racial equality, climate change and support for the middle class.

Today, we take a detailed look at what his plans entail and the congressional path he will have to navigate to get it passed.
