President Joe Biden will visit Milwaukee on Wednesday, Dec. 20.
“The President will discuss how Bidenomics and his Investing in America agenda are leading to a small business boom, lowering costs for hardworking families, and building an economy from the middle out and the bottom up,” said The White House in a brief press release announcing the trip.
Biden last visited Milwaukee in August, speaking at the North American headquarters and factory of Ingeteam, a manufacturer of wind turbine generators and electric vehicle charges. The visit was timed with the one-year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act.
The upcoming visit appears to have a small business focus. “Under President Biden, Americans have filed a record 14.6 million new business applications, including 178,000 in the state of Wisconsin,” said The White House.
According to the White House, additional details on Biden’s visit, including the location, are to be announced in the coming days.
Prior to the Ingeteam visit, Biden last traveled to Milwaukee in September 2022 to speak at Laborfest. He also visited Wisconsin in February, speaking outside Madison.
The visit comes as it is increasingly clear that Biden will face former president Donald Trump in the 2024 election. Both candidates are likely to make several stops in Wisconsin in the coming year, as Trump won Wisconsin in 2016, but Biden won the state by approximately 20,000 votes in their 2020 head-to-head matchup.

Yikes, this should be interesting. Hopefully this goes well for him!
I am a bit slow so please forgive me but I don’t see the difference betweeh Bidenomics, Trumponomics, Obamanomics, Bushanomics, Clintonomics, …the “big picture” economy has been transferring wealth to the top for decades.
Bidenomics is a word the GOP created to crap on Biden and then he stole it and ran with the word to stick it to them.
When the federal government focuses its economic policies on supporting the middle class and small businesses–instead of tax cuts for the very wealthiest and multinational corporations–working Americans do better and can save more; while the poor have more money to spend. Both infuse money back into local economies. This is a basic principle of Adam Smith’s capitalism. It is also something RRRs (beholden to the very wealthy and corporations) do not understand.
That, Duane, is the critical difference between the economic policies of current Democrats and the RRRs (radical reactionary republicans)
