US

US President Joe Biden is shortly due to deliver remarks in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he will unveil a USD$3.3 billion package of federal grants for infrastructure in the state. LIVESTREAM

  • The remarks will be Biden's first since he effectively locked down the Democratic Party Presidential nomination yesterday. The event is part of a multi-stop tour of swing states this week where Biden has been touting a populist economic agenda which he unveiled at his State of the Union Address last week.
  • Biden will follow today's remarks with a speech in Michigan tomorrow, another rust-belt swing state which will be critical to Biden's prospects of re-election in November.
  • Roll Call notes: “While Biden may still ultimately win the race, it’s hard to see him with a fundamental advantage, as our current race ratings reflect.”
  • Roll Call adds that is “changing Michigan (and its 15 Electoral College votes) from Tilt Democratic to Toss-Up. With that change, the GOP nominee is favored to win 235 Electoral College votes compared to 232 for the Democratic nominee, leaving both short of the 270 needed to win."
