Trump may take credit for Biden’s signature climate law, if he doesn’t kill it first 

Biden aides expect Trump to continue the administration’s planned projects while taking credit for them.

All that’s left is for President-elect Donald Trump to put his name on it—if he wants.

Trump won the White House in large part because of voters’ frustration with high prices and a sense that the United States needs major changes. But when he enters office in January, Trump will inherit an economy primed for growth.

The unemployment rate is low, inflation is easing and President Joe Biden’s administration has teed-up a ready-made list of infrastructure projects that could go from theoretical to reality over the next several years. There’s the TSMC computer chip plant in Arizona, the new Hyundai electric vehicle factory in Georgia and a modernized I-375 in Michigan, among thousands of projects under way that will take years to complete.

All of that means it could be Trump, rather than Biden, who gets to tell Americans that he built the country back better. If he decides to let the projects proceed, that is.

Biden, himself, acknowledged last week that the positive economic impacts from his policies would occur after his term ends in January.

“Much of the work we’ve done is already being felt by the American people, but the vast majority will not be felt, will be felt over the next 10 years,” he said in remarks in the Rose Garden. “It’s going to take time, but it’s there. The road ahead is clear.”
