Biden takes digs at Trump in Midwest trip promoting infrastructure projects
The president spoke at a brewery that stands to benefit from a planned $1 billion project to replace the more than 60-year-old Blatnik Bridge.
SUPERIOR, Wis. — Looking to shore up his support in the upper Midwest, President Joe Biden visited the Wisconsin-Minnesota border Thursday to showcase the sort of road and bridge improvements he said his predecessor never accomplished in office.
Biden spoke at a brewery here that stands to benefit from a planned $1 billion project to replace the more than 60-year-old Blatnik Bridge connecting Superior to Duluth, Minnesota.
His visit was a two-for-one proposition, putting him at the junction of two crucial states that he captured in 2020 and will need to win again if he’s to prevail in an expected rematch with former President Donald Trump in November.
“The Midwest is coming back,” Biden said at Earth Rider Brewery, standing in front of a row of stainless steel cylinders used to ferment beer.
As the presidential race barrels toward another Biden-Trump showdown, Democrats are scrambling to address a stubborn reality: Polls show that many voters are dimly aware of Biden's accomplishments thus far.
