When it comes to Joe Biden and Donald Trump, even a casual observer of American politics knows there are enormous differences in terms of temperament, policy, and attitudes towards norms, laws, and even democracy itself.
There is, however, one similarity: Both won the presidency by promising to rebuild America’s aging infrastructure after years of neglect.
