President Joe Biden will be visiting Milwaukee on Labor Day, the fourth trip he has taken to Wisconsin since he took office. He will be joined by Gov. Tony Evers, who said he would welcome a visit from Biden last week despite a report that his staff urged the president to avoid a visit.
On Wednesday, Evers said during a campaign stop that he would appear on stage with Biden if asked and would also support his campaign for re-election should he choose to run again. He said that he had a “good relationship” with the president and that “…we are absolutely working to make sure that regardless of who the president is, we’re focused on issues important to Wisconsinites.”
Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes was noncommittal on whether he would appear with Biden during his visit. Barnes’ spokeswoman said that he will be attending Laborfest events in Milwaukee, Madison, and Racine on Monday and that his priority is “talking to Wisconsin voters and supporting the movement that gave his family a ticket to the middle class.”
