LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Air Force One touched down in Las Vegas Friday for President Joe Biden’s most recent visit to the valley.
President Biden visited the Carpenter International Training Center to showcase $8.2 billion in funding for 10 major passenger rail projects across the country. Included in that funding is $3 billion for a high-speed electric train route linking Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Alongside hundreds of union workers, state politicians and President Biden talked about a new project many of these workers will be helping with.
The all-electric train will be the first high-speed rail line to be built with American union labor.
“It is going to reduce the number of cars on the I-15 and anyone who has driven on the I-15 on the weekends knows what that means,” said Senator Jacky Rosen.
