President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden will travel to Superior, Wisconsin, on Wednesday to tout the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
According to the White House, the visit will focus on the effects of the legislation, including the advancement of “good-paying union jobs.”
“On Wednesday, the President and the First Lady will travel to Superior, Wisconsin, to discuss how the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law delivers for the American people by rebuilding roads and bridges and creating good-paying union jobs,” said White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.
The visit will follow a news-filled week for Biden, as Russia attacked Ukraine and Biden announced his nomination pick for the U.S. Supreme Court.
Republicans blasted Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as “radical.” Moderate Democrats, like Congressman Jim Clyburn and Senator Joe Manchin, supported Judge Michelle Childs.
“Maybe the only promise Joe Biden has kept is his pledge to nominate a liberal, activist judge to the Supreme Court. Ketanji Brown Jackson is exactly that: a radical, left-wing activist who would rubberstamp Biden’s disastrous agenda. By picking Jackson, Biden put far-left special interests ahead of defending Americans’ rights and liberties. The Republican National Committee will make sure voters know just how radical Jackson is and remember at the ballot box in November,” the Republican National Committee (RNC) said in a statement.
The Biden administration has placed heavy attention on the battleground state that is vital to both Democrats and Republicans seeking the White House
Previously, Vice President Kamala Harris visited Brew City, also promoting the bipartisan infrastructure bill that was passed by Congress last year and signed by President Biden.
Despite the attention, numerous polls have demonstrated that the majority of residents in the state disapprove of the administration’s job performance.
