President Joe Biden, this Wednesday (13), focused on his electoral agenda, one day after having won his party’s nomination, as did his opponent Donald Trump, for what presents itself as one of the longest campaigns and bitter for the White House.
With this, Biden begins a two-day trip through the disputed states of Michigan and Wisconsin (northern), where he surpassed Trump in the 2020 election campaign and where he needs to win again to guarantee his re-election.
The current president, aged 81, and the Republican, aged 77, confirmed on Tuesday what seemed an inevitable outcome, after reaching enough delegates to guarantee the Democratic and Republican nomination, respectively, as candidates in the November elections 2024.
The United States now faces a vital and bitter battle that will last nearly eight months.
The candidates do not hide the personal resentment between them, especially after Biden’s victory in 2020.
During his tour, the Democrat will seek to focus on the positive issues of his government, such as recovering the economy’s dynamism. He will also announce a series of infrastructure investments on Wednesday and speak at events in Milwaukee, Saginaw and Michigan on Thursday, during which he will likely continue to attack Trump.
Michigan and Wisconsin are part of the “Blue Wall”, along with Pennsylvania, Biden’s home state, which Trump won in 2016 after years of Democratic control, and which the current president recovered by a few votes four years later.
