According to a White House factsheet, Mr Biden was due to visit businesses that are at the heart of his plan to support communities "too often left behind."

Mr Biden says almost 32,000 more workers in the area have jobs under his administration and its unemployment rate is down to 3.9 percent - a 20-year low.

Today, he is also expected to highlight the Biden-Harris administration’s Investing in America agenda and how 16 million new business applications have been filed during his first three years in office.
