Timing is Everything

President Biden’s visit to Colorado coincides with Congress working to pass a bill that will raise the debt limit and prevent the U.S. from defaulting on its loans. The House passed the bill on Wednesday and sent it to the Senate, with a vote expected as early as Friday but that could possibly go into the weekend.

Don’t miss out on this historic event! The commencement address will begin at 11:30 on Thursday.
