As Biden prepares for his farewell speech, Democrats emphasize his administration’s successes, particularly in Wisconsin’s economy and infrastructure.
Jaime Harrison, the outgoing chair of the Democratic National Committee, highlighted some impressive stats. He mentioned that unemployment in Wisconsin has dropped from 4.7% when Biden took office to just 2.9% now. That’s a big win for the state!
Biden’s administration has also brought in over $20 billion for infrastructure projects in Wisconsin, including fixing the Blatnik Bridge. That’s a huge deal for the locals. Plus, they’re celebrating the creation of nearly 187,000 jobs since he took office, especially after the job losses during Trump’s term.
The White House is also taking credit for a whopping $8 billion investment in clean energy and manufacturing in the state. They believe the Inflation Reduction Act is set to bring in even more clean power projects by 2030.
Health care has seen some positive changes too. Thanks to federal investments, a record 306,000 people are now enrolled in health insurance in Wisconsin. And with new caps on insulin prices and out-of-pocket costs for Medicare, seniors are set to save a lot of money.
Biden’s American Rescue Plan has also helped extend Medicaid postpartum coverage, which is a big win for new moms. And let’s not forget about student debt relief—62,000 Wisconsinites have had over $2.4 billion in student loans canceled.
So, as Biden gets ready to say goodbye, the Democrats are making sure to remind everyone of the good things that have happened under his watch. It’s all about celebrating those wins!
