As November draws closer, it becomes increasingly challenging not to interpret the Biden administration’s moves as overtly political in nature. 

Take, for example, Biden’s sudden U-turn on border restrictions, which was almost universally condemned by Republicans and Democrats alike. The former called the move a “stunt,” and the latter accused him of betrayal, as reported by The Dallas Express.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) chalked the move up to Biden’s poor polling numbers.

“President Biden is in trouble politically. He’s polling right up there with fungal infections. Part of the reason for that is that he gave in to the loon wing of his party, and he dissolved the southern border. Now—five months before an election—he has to appear to be willing to do something about it. Hence, this executive order,” he said.

The administration’s latest move—spending nearly $2 billion on EV plants located in swing states—will almost surely provoke the same sort of backlash. Here’s the start of a Breitbart report on the Energy Department’s announcement:

The Biden Energy Department on Thursday announced nearly $2 billion will be released to save at-risk or shuttered plants if they convert to electric vehicles across swing states such as Michigan or Pennsylvania.

The Biden administration is using $2 billion that came from the Inflation Reduction Act, which is commonly referred to as a climate change bill, as it attempts to combine manufacturing and climate change policies.

The funds will be used to help with conversions and retooling projects across eight states to make electric vehicles and other related parts.

“This announcement is a hallmark of the Biden administration’s industrial strategy, which is a strategy to bring manufacturing and jobs back to America after years of offshoring,” Jennifer Granholm told reporters on Thursday.

However, some of the 11 facilities that will receive funding are in swing states as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Virginia. General Motors, Stellantis, Volvo, Harley-Davidson, and suppliers such as American Auto Parts will receive the funding, and Biden officials said it would ensure over 15,000 union workers keep their jobs, and create approximately 3,000 jobs.
