<p>WASHINGTON &mdash; President Joe Biden is heading to Georgia next week to mark his first 100 days in office and promote his infrastructure and jobs plan with a drive-in rally in Atlanta.</p>
<p>The White House said the president and his wife, Jill Biden, will travel to the state on April 29, a day after he delivers his <a href="https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-nancy-pelosi-coronavirus-pandemic-267e753a5d1ab7a72d3274728b25f63c">first address to a joint session of Congress</a>. In his address, he’s expected to tout the accomplishments of his first 100 days in office and lay out his agenda for the rest of his term.</p>
<p>One of his next top priorities is a <a href="https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-technology-coronavirus-pandemic-pittsburgh-jen-psaki-8865ffc8f5ad3142155a5bd3c3a3e6d3">massive $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan</a>, which provides funds to update the nation’s infrastructure, shift to green energy and expand caregiving options for older and disabled Americans.</p>
<p>It will mark Biden’s second visit to the state since becoming president. His first visit was to promote his COVID-19 relief package, but those plans were derailed by a <a href="https://apnews.com/article/georgia-massage-parlor-shooting-8-dead-9e39706c523c733a6d83d9baf4866154">series of shootings at Atlanta-area spas </a> that killed eight people, including six Asian women. <a href="https://apnews.com/article/biden-harris-offer-solace-grieving-asian-americans-71e655d4afef22ee6d24c6d8963c45cd">Biden instead spent his visit</a> meeting with community leaders and state lawmakers from the Asian American and Pacific Islander community to discuss the events, which came amid an outbreak of anti-Asian violence nationwide during the coronavirus pandemic.</p>
<p>His second visit comes as Georgia’s <a href="https://apnews.com/article/what-does-new-georgia-gop-election-law-do-87665a200f6442e28ef43cbc60c88653">controversial new voting law</a> has put the state’s election system in the spotlight.
