Schumer, Clinton Note Broadband Hopes for Potential Biden Administration

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and former President Bill Clinton noted major broadband connectivity hopes Tuesday, if Democratic 2020 presidential nominee Joe Biden wins the November election. A Biden administration will “rebuild our infrastructure and make sure every home from inner city to rural America has broadband,” Schumer said during the Democratic National Convention’s Tuesday session. Clinton noted Biden’s plans for “a modern infrastructure that brings small town and rural America the connectivity and investment others take for granted.” Montana DNC delegate Rachel Prevost said during the event that “rural broadband can be a game changer for rural communities like mine, and [Biden] has a plan to make it happen.” Republican ex-officials and politicians with ties to the tech sector spoke in favor of Biden Monday (see 2008180053).
