"Biden's California Visit: Climate Funding and Campaign Boost"

President Biden announced $600 million in federal funding to combat climate change during his visit to California, where he also attended fundraising events. The funding will support coastal and Great Lakes communities susceptible to storm surge, sea level rise, and flooding. Biden highlighted his administration's work to fight climate change, including $2.3 billion to modernize the electric grid under the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. California is set to receive tens of millions of dollars to increase access to clean drinking water and to mitigate wildfires and other natural disasters. Meanwhile, Governor Newsom is in the final stages of negotiations with Democratic lawmakers in Sacramento over his own plan to streamline the process of building infrastructure in California.
