President Biden will make first visit to Wisconsin since dropping out of race. He's coming Sept. 5.

WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden will travel to southwest Wisconsin next Thursday to highlight his administration's investments in manufacturing and infrastructure — his first visit to the state since dropping out of the presidential race.

A White House spokeswoman declined Wednesday to say where Biden plans to stop in the southwestern part of the state. But an administration official said Biden will highlight his "Investing in America agenda" and how it is "benefiting communities across Wisconsin and ensuring Americans have a brighter, more prosperous future."

The visit will be Biden's first to Wisconsin since he withdrew from the presidential race late last month and Vice President Kamala Harris quickly became Democrats' new nominee. Harris held the first rally of her presidential campaign in West Allis and since visited Eau Claire and Milwaukee for rallies with her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

Walz will also return to the state next week. He will stop in Milwaukee with Minnesota first lady Gwen Walz on Labor Day, the Harris-Walz campaign said Tuesday. The campaign did not say where the Walzes will speak in Milwaukee or what time they'll be in the city.
