DEARBORN, Mich. – President Joe Biden will tour a Ford electric vehicle plant on Tuesday in Dearborn, where he’s expected to deliver remarks on infrastructure and more.

The president is visiting Dearborn to tour Ford’s Rouge Center plant in Dearborn in an effort to help push his massive $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan, which proposes $174 billion for electric vehicles specifically. The Dearborn plant will soon be building Ford’s all-electric F-150 Lightning, after the company announced last fall that it would pour nearly $1 billion into plants like the Rouge Center to work on electric vehicles.
