The first Republican debate of the 2024 election cycle took place in Milwaukee on August 23. While all the drama seemed focused on whether or not anybody beyond Chris Christie would take a serious swing at Trump, much of the evening’s time was devoted to trashing President Joe Biden. So, for anyone still clinging to their sanity after enduring all the lies, here is a quick summary of the things that Biden has accomplished with a little help from Democrats in Congress in his first two-and-a-half years in office. First of all, Joe Biden has restored trust, confidence, and...

Local Investment: President Joe Biden visits Milwaukee to highlight the success of his economic policies

President Joe Biden traveled to Wisconsin on August 15 to highlight his economic policies in a state critical to his reelection fortunes, just a week before Republicans descend on Milwaukee for the party’s first presidential debate. His arrival in Milwaukee came on the eve of the anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act, major economic legislation that he signed into law with great ceremony – but polls show that most people know little about it or what it does. Wisconsin is among the handful of critical states where President Biden needs to persuade voters that his policies are having a...

There are so many dots on the maps they blur into blobs — each one reflecting trillions of public and private dollars flowing in the U.S. this past year to build thousands of roads, bridges, and manufacturing projects in communities large and small, in states red and blue. They include an electric vehicle “battery belt” of manufacturing stretching from Michigan to Georgia, semiconductor fabrication plants in Arizona, Texas, Ohio, and New York and broadband coming to Appalachia. Taken together, they represent President Joe Biden’s ambitious attempt to use the levers of government to chart a new era of domestic...

Efforts by the Biden administration have been helping create new factory jobs as part of a push to bring high-speed internet to the whole country, jobs that coincidentally help to back up President Joe Biden’s messaging for the 2024 elections. Vice President Kamala Harris announced on August 3 that up to 200 new manufacturing jobs would be coming to the swing state of Wisconsin. The workers at the Sanmina factory in Kenosha County are to make parts for Nokia that help to connect customers to broadband internet. Nokia’s choice to move production to the U.S. came after an extended...

In Chicago at the end of June, President Joe Biden gave a historic speech at the Old Post Office Building downtown. In it, he was crystal clear that he has launched a new economic vision for the United States to stand against that of today’s Republicans.

When Senate Leader Mitch McConnell rose to announce his vote to acquit Donald Trump of impeachment charges in the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, the Republican assured the public the former president would have his day in court. “He didn’t get away with anything yet — yet,” McConnell vowed. “We have a criminal justice system in this country. We have civil litigation. And former presidents are not immune from being accountable by either one.” But as Trump appeared in court on August 3 on federal charges that he orchestrated an unprecedented effort to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020...
