Biden and Trump tied in Wisconsin race.
President Joe Biden to Highlight Economic Agenda in Milwaukee Trip
President Joe Biden is set to travel to Milwaukee on Tuesday, engaging in a critical battle for the swing state of Wisconsin. This will be his first visit to the state since announcing his reelection campaign in April. The trip aims to showcase his economic agenda, with White House officials emphasizing how “Bidenomics is investing in America to grow the economy from the middle out and the bottom up, not the top down.”
Wisconsin: A Key State in the Presidential Race
Wisconsin played a pivotal role in the 2020 general election, with Biden winning the state by a narrow margin over former President Donald Trump. In 2016, Trump also secured a victory in Wisconsin, defeating former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Clinton’s decision to neglect the state during her campaign has been linked to her loss. As Biden’s reelection campaign intensifies, Wisconsin remains one of the crucial ”toss-up” states that will likely determine the outcome of the 2024 presidential race.
Biden’s Efforts to Secure Wisconsin
Vice President Kamala Harris recently visited Wisconsin, delivering speeches in Kenosha and participating in multiple campaign events. Meanwhile, President Biden’s polling numbers in the state have shown a decline, with Trump gaining ground in recent months. A July poll from Marquette University revealed a tie between Trump and Biden at 50% support. However, when excluding undecided voters, Trump holds a 1-point advantage. Additionally, Biden trails behind Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) by 3 points in a head-to-head matchup.
The Inflation Reduction Act and Biden’s Economic Stewardship
The president’s trip to Milwaukee coincides with the one-year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act, a significant component of Biden’s legislative agenda. Despite a prolonged messaging campaign on “Bidenomics,” the president’s economic polling has not seen significant improvement. Only 38% of respondents currently approve of his economic stewardship. White House chief of staff Jeff Zients acknowledged the need for repetitive messaging to highlight the positive impact of Biden’s economic investments.
Relational Organizing and Trusted Messengers
The Biden campaign plans to employ a strategy called “relational organizing” to boost support for the president’s economic agenda. This approach involves recruiting local leaders, online influencers, labor groups, and other trusted messengers to advocate for Biden’s policies. By targeting communities that may not regularly consume national news or have reservations about Biden, the campaign aims to provide information and influence decision-making based on personal connections.
Tying the Republican Agenda to Economic Reversal
The White House and Biden’s campaign will also seek to link the Republican agenda to potential economic setbacks and the reversal of green energy investments made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. They emphasize the importance of the Inflation Reduction Act in addressing climate change and criticize Republican efforts to repeal it. The president remains committed to tackling the climate crisis and achieving tangible results.
President Biden’s trip to Milwaukee serves as a crucial opportunity to engage with voters in Wisconsin and promote his economic agenda. As the battle for swing states intensifies, both campaigns are strategizing to secure support and shape the narrative surrounding their respective agendas.
