President Joe Biden to visit Milwaukee as his first official trip

Joe Biden to board on his first official trip as president to Milwaukee on Tuesday as he pushes for quick approval of his $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief plan.

It comes after the U.S. Senate on Saturday voted to absolve former President Donald Trump in his impeachment trial and as Biden zeroes in on his policy agenda to tackle the coronavirus pandemic.

The short-stay followed by a second visit on Thursday to a Pfizer manufacturing site in Kalamazoo, Michigan allows Biden to COVID-19 vaccinations and rally support behind his American Rescue Plan, which he wants Congress to pass in the coming weeks.

Milwaukee’s Pabs theatre will welcome the president to take part in CNN town hall that will air at 9 pm ET while other democrats are furious at Senate with Trump’s acquittal, but President Biden just wants to move on.

Paul Nolette, associate professor of political science at Marquette University said, “With the impeachment trial in the rear-view mirror, Biden can really hit upon some of the things that he’s already said as president-elect was going to be a priority.”Addressing COVID-19, particularly ramping up the vaccines, and really pushing his stimulus package.”

The trip to Wisconsin is his first outside Washington, his home state of Delaware, or the Camp David presidential retreat since becoming president. Biden is expected to arrive in Milwaukee in the early evening and has no other stops scheduled before he boards Air Force One back to Washington.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden will take “take questions from Americans about the issues they are facing every day, including the pandemic and the ensuing economic crisis.”
