The world has been given an insight into how a U.S. president’s day is managed

The world has been given a rare insight into how the daily duties of a U.S. president are managed.

A hot mic moment has shown one of Biden’s guides directing him down a ramp to an event at a Semiconductor Plant in North Carolina.

The president traveled to North Carolina to tour a plant that produces silicon chips for semiconductors.

The company, Wolfspeed, has just announced a new $5 billion facility to help increase production.

Biden made the stop to kick off his “Investing in America tour.”

The tour is aiming to highlight the administration’s spending on infrastructure and the nation’s increasing manufacturing capacity.

The president called the expansion at the semiconductor factory “the largest investment in manufacturing in North Carolina’s history.”

“Instead of relying on minerals made overseas in places like China, the supply chain will be here in America, here in North Carolina. It’s a game changer,” Biden said. #trending #featured
