When President Joe Biden visits Wisconsin on Wednesday, he’ll attempt to draw a direct line between his signature legislative achievements and shovels in the ground — and a direct contrast with Donald Trump — as he seeks to win over voters unhappy with the overall economy.
Biden plans to announce a $3.3 billion investment from Microsoft to build a new artificial intelligence facility located on the same site where, in 2018, then-President Trump broke ground on what was supposed to be a signature project under his administration: an electronics factory for Taiwan’s Foxconn, which had secured billions in tax credits and promised thousands of jobs.
Those investments largely failed to materialize. And in his remarks Wednesday, Biden plans to directly point his finger at Trump for that failure, according to a White House official.
