’s plans will result in 2,300 union construction jobs and some 2,000 permanent jobs over time, the White House said. It said nearly 4,000 jobs had been added in Racine since Biden took office, while about 1,000 manufacturing jobs were lost during the Trump administration.

will partner with Gateway Technical College to train 1,000 people for data center and other roles by 2030, and will work to train 1,000 business leaders to adopt AI in their operations, the White House said,

“Together, these investments will position the industrial heartland to lead the way in industries of the future,” it said.

Biden, a Democrat, will also use his fourth trip this year to Wisconsin — one of seven swing states critical to his 2024 reelection bid — to meet with volunteers in Racine’s ****** community, his campaign said.

Biden is seeking to shore up support among ****** voters ahead of the November presidential election, with national polls showing him essentially tied with *********** Trump.

The president will meet with volunteers who campaign officials are training to use a new mobile phone app that helps voters connect with people they already know to drum up votes.

The Biden campaign on Wednesday announced the launch of a $14 million ad campaign, which will include a seven-figure investment targeting ******, Latino and ****** voters. The campaign will also release an ad on Thursday called “Terminate,” which will focus on Trump’s attacks on Americans’ health care.

The campaign said it was expanding its operations and would have 200 offices and 500 staff members by the end of May. It also plans to expand its outreach to small businesses this month as part of a ******* drive to expand in key communities.
