U.S. President Joe Biden is set to visit Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, next week to support Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris. This trip comes after delays due to Hurricane Helene and ongoing tensions in the Middle East following an attack on Israel.
The visits to these crucial battleground states highlight their importance in the upcoming 2024 election, as they are vital for securing votes. Biden's campaign strategy aims to address voter concerns, particularly regarding the economy, which has been identified as the top issue by public opinion polls.
In addition to his campaign efforts, Biden will continue to prioritize responses to the hurricane and the Middle East conflict during his travels, ensuring that these pressing issues remain at the forefront of his agenda.
