President Barack Obama is expected to embark on a two-day bus tour next week to both New York and Pennsylvania where he’ll “discuss another cornerstone of his vision for a better bargain for the middle class,” a White House official told a pool reporter.
Obama will travel through the two states on Aug. 22-23. Politico’s Maggie Haberman, citing sources familiar with Obama’s plans, said the President will deliver the remarks in upstate New York.
The White House official said more information will be provided when it’s available. Obama has been traveling around the country over the last month in an effort to shift the national focus back to the economy. He kicked off the tour with a speech late last month at Knox College in Galesburg, Ill.
