Biden heads to Wisconsin to tout $5 billion transportation investment

U.S. President Joe Biden will announce a $5 billion investment in transportation projects around the country during a visit Thursday to the election battleground state of Wisconsin, part of a push to promote the Democratic president's economic policies. The visit will highlight a $1 billion investment to replace the Blatnik Bridge in Superior, which connects Wisconsin and Minnesota and is vital to the region's community including its small business owners, the White House said. The Biden administration is working to overcome Americans' anxiety over high inflation, which has weighed on Biden's popularity as he seeks re-election on Nov. 5.
