President Joe Biden plans to return to Wisconsin on Tuesday to deliver remarks in Milwaukee focused on his administration's efforts to bolster the economy and replace lead pipes, the White House announced Friday.
The visit will mark Biden's second to the battleground state since he dropped out of the race in July and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. Biden last traveled to Wisconsin in September for a stop in Westby.
Additional details on Biden's upcoming visit were not immediately available. Biden will then hold a campaign event in Pennsylvania, another key battleground state in the upcoming presidential election.
With the Nov. 5 election now a month away, former President Donald Trump and Harris, along with their running mates — Ohio Sen. JD Vance and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, respectively — have made repeated visits to Wisconsin.
Harris held a campaign stop on Thursday in Ripon, commonly referred to as the birthplace of the Republican Party, alongside former GOP U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney.
Trump, meanwhile, courted Republican voters in Waunakee and Milwaukee on Tuesday. The former president is also scheduled to hold a rally Sunday at the Dodge County Airport in Juneau.
Recent polling shows that the Democratic ticket is holding onto a narrow lead in the state. Marquette Law School's latest poll, released Wednesday, found that among likely voters and registered voters, 48% preferred Trump while 52% preferred Harris, although the results are within the margin of error for both groups.
