CLEVELAND (AP) — President Joe Biden has used an Ohio visit to showcase federal action aimed at shoring up pensions for millions of workers.

Biden on Wednesday announced a federal rule change that will allow major new financial support for troubled pensions that cover some 2 million to 3 million workers.
