WATCH LIVE: Biden speaks about PACT Act’s impact

[embed­ded con­tent]

Pres­i­dent Joe Biden is sched­uled to speak about the Sgt. 1st Class Heath Robin­son Hon­or­ing our Promise to Address Com­pre­hen­sive Tox­i­cs Act, also known as the PACT Act, at 1:30 p.m. in Nashua, New Hamp­shire.
The PACT Act, signed into law in August 2022 and named after a vet­er­an, attempt­ed to address “the most sig­nif­i­cant expan­sion of ben­e­fits and ser­vices for tox­ic exposed vet­er­ans in more than 30 years.” Biden will announce that the act has grant­ed more than 1 mil­lion claims relat­ed to the leg­is­la­tion.
Biden has a per­son­al con­nec­tion to the issue — his son, Beau, died of brain can­cer, and the pres­i­dent has blamed burn pits as a cause for the younger Biden’s can­cer.

Joe Biden is expect­ed to head to Boston after his remarks.
New Hamp­shire is not pro­ject­ed to be a par­tic­u­lar­ly com­pet­i­tive state in the pres­i­den­tial elec­tion. The state is list­ed as “like­ly D” by the Cook Polit­i­cal Report, and a Marist Col­lege poll in Jan­u­ary saw Joe Biden lead­ing by 3 per­cent­age points against for­mer Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump.
