President Biden’s Infrastructure Jobs Ad Highlights Wisconsin’s Resurgence
President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign has launched a captivating new ad titled “Pretty Awesome,” showcasing the revitalization of infrastructure jobs in Wisconsin. The ad features Kilah Engelke, a cement mason, who attributes the resurgence of jobs in the state to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law championed by Biden.
The 30-second spot is being broadcasted on television across Wisconsin’s major media markets and on national cable. The first national airing will be on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Friday. This ad is part of a $25 million advertising campaign targeting battleground states like Wisconsin, spanning 16 weeks.
“From Day One, President Biden has fought to build the economy from the bottom up and middle out by tackling inflation, bringing down costs, and working across the aisle to deliver good-paying jobs for people like Kilah by investing in America,” said Biden-Harris 2024 Campaign Manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez. “Our campaign is continuing to make early and aggressive investments in key states to make sure voters hear directly from trusted voices about how President Biden has delivered for them.”
The ad will be aired in Madison, Milwaukee, and Green Bay, Wisconsin. This development comes as Foxconn, a Taiwan electronics manufacturer, recently announced the sale of a building in Green Bay and another property in Eau Claire.
In 2017, Foxconn’s plans for a manufacturing plant in Wisconsin, along with a multi-billion dollar investment and thousands of jobs, were celebrated by Trump’s administration. However, by 2021, it became evident that Foxconn intended to reduce its investment significantly. The planned $10 billion infusion was downsized to just $672 million, and instead of 13,000 new jobs, only 1,454 would be created. Additionally, the ambitious 20-million-square-foot manufacturing campus was scrapped. This would have been the largest investment in a new location by a foreign-based company.
In the ad, Engelke enthusiastically states, “All the road builders are insanely busy right now. If someone comes in wanting or needing a job, we’ve got them. The infrastructure law that Joe Biden got passed is putting people back to work.” She highlights the visible impact of the infrastructure investments, emphasizing the bridges, roadways, and the multitude of people employed. Engelke concludes, “That’s pretty awesome to have a president like Joe Biden that’s fighting for good jobs. It’s huge.”
Following the release of Biden’s ad, Trump issued a statement criticizing the president’s handling of the economy. Trump highlighted the shutdown of the Keystone XL pipeline, the impact on American energy, regulatory burdens, tax hikes, and the immigration situation. He also mentioned the potential consequences of Biden’s Electric Vehicle mandate on the U.S. auto industry.
In a July poll of Wisconsin voters, Trump and Biden were tied at 50%. Given the state’s significance in the 2024 contest, having voted for Trump in 2016 and Biden in 2020 by narrow margins, it is expected to play a crucial role once again.
