Biden Promotes Economic Policies, Record in Milwaukee Visit

Frederica Freyberg:

President Joe Biden visited Milwaukee this week to tout what he calls “Bidenomics.” His appearance precedes a Republican presidential primary debate next week, also in Milwaukee. While promoting his record on jobs and the economy, he took shots at Senator Ron Johnson.

Joe Biden:

Between the year 2000 and January 2021, Wisconsin alone lost more than 136,000 manufacturing jobs alone. I’d like to see Senator Johnson talk about — talk to those 136,000 people and tell them it doesn’t matter whether you manufacture things at home or overseas.
