Governor Tony Evers welcomed President Joe Biden back to Wisconsin during a recent event, emphasizing the achievements of the Biden administration and contrasting them with the previous administration under Donald Trump. Evers highlighted that Democrats are effectively delivering results for the state, citing recent developments such as Wisconsin's designation as a U.S. regional tech hub, which will bring a $50 million investment and create 1,000 jobs.
Evers also pointed to significant investments from Microsoft, amounting to $3.3 billion for a new data system in Mount Pleasant, which is expected to generate thousands of construction jobs and position Wisconsin as a leader in artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing. He noted the Biden administration's support in infrastructure projects, including the replacement of a crucial bridge between Duluth and Superior, which facilitates the transport of goods worth billions.
The governor praised the American Rescue Plan Act for aiding Wisconsin's economic recovery, supporting over 100,000 businesses, and providing rental assistance to thousands of households. He criticized Republican legislators for their inaction during the pandemic and underscored the importance of continued Democratic leadership.
Evers concluded with a stark warning about the upcoming election, labeling Trump a threat to democracy and accusing him of pursuing a radical agenda, including a potential national abortion ban. He urged voters to recognize the stakes of the November election, framing it as a choice between progress and regression.
