Today, President Joe Biden is traveling to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. He will be addressing the nation regarding the recent passage of the bill to address gun-related violent crimes. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced, “The president will give remarks on building on the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which he signed into law last month, and how we can further reduce gun crimes and save lives.”
