President Biden has officially secured the Democratic nomination for president, with Georgia playing a crucial role in his victory. On the other hand, Donald Trump is set to lock up the Republican nomination, having also won the state of Georgia. The focus now shifts to the general election ground game, with Trump heading to Ohio and Biden to Michigan and Wisconsin.
Wisconsin holds significant importance in the upcoming election, being a key part of the blue wall that Biden carried in 2020. In 2016, Trump won the state by 23,000 votes, while Biden secured it by a margin of about 21,000 votes in 2020. Wisconsin, along with Michigan and Pennsylvania, is considered a critical battleground state.
President Biden will be visiting Wisconsin to highlight his infrastructure law, a major achievement from his first term. He aims to showcase the law's impact and future prospects. Meanwhile, Trump will be campaigning in Ohio to support a Republican Senate candidate.
Notably, Trump is taking a brief break from the presidential campaign trail this week, while Biden continues to engage with voters in key states. Biden's next stop after Wisconsin is Michigan, another crucial state in the blue wall region.
In his recent statements, President Biden emphasized the importance of his economic progress and the risks to democracy, likening the current situation to the challenges faced during the Civil War era. He called on his supporters to rally around him and address the pressing issues facing the nation.
Biden's primary focus is to unite Democrats who may still have reservations about his candidacy. His efforts to solidify support begin in Milwaukee, where he will kick off his campaign activities in Wisconsin.
