CARLSBAD, CALIF. (AP) — President Joe Biden says his top legislative achievements were due in part to the work of a Southern California congressman locked in a tight reelection race. The president on Friday toured a communications company that is expected to benefit from his push to bolster American semiconductor manufacturing. Biden was joined by Rep. Mike Levin for the visit to Viasat, as the president highlighted his CHIPS and Science Act and the work his administration has done for military veterans. The bill is one of the Biden administration’s most significant legislative achievements. His work for veterans is deeply personal after his son, Beau, died from brain cancer after returning from a tour in Iraq.
