President Biden promised to improve outdated U.S. airports, during remarks on last year’s bipartisan infrastructure law.

Video transcript

JOE BIDEN: Not a single, solitary American airport, not one ranks in the top 25 in the world. The United States of America, not one. What in the hell's the matter with us? I remember when I was vice president, I was flying in New York on Air Force Two. We landed in LaGuardia. And as I got into the terminal there was an escalator. This is God's truth. And it said, quote, "Out of order. Will be fixed in two months."
