Scott] Walker \u2063era, Foxconn announced it would sell\u2064 two properties in Green Bay and \u2063Eau Claire, abandoning plans that would have brought over 500 jobs to the Badger State,&#8221; Democratic\u200b Party of Wisconsin Chairman Ben Wikler told reporters\u2063 during a press \u2062call \u2064celebrating the one-year anniversary\u200b of the Inflation Reduction Act.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Foxconn Wisconsin \u2064deal, announced by Trump&#8217;s\u200d administration in \u200c2017, was initially hailed as a sign\u2064 of a tech manufacturing revival in \u2064the United\u200d States. However, in 2021,\u200b it was revealed that the company \u2063was significantly reducing its investment in the state, cutting \u2064the promised $10 \u200cbillion to $672 million. Instead of the projected 13,000 new jobs, only \u200c1,454 would \u2063be created. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wisconsin-democrats-hit-trump-era-manufacturing-deal-ahead-of-2024-fight\/\" title=\"Wisconsin Dems target Trump-era manufacturing deal before 2024 battle.\">proposed 20-million-square-foot\u2064 manufacturing campus<\/a> never materialized, despite it being \u2064a historic opportunity for a foreign-based company to make such a large investment\u200d in a new location.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For years, Scott\u2062 Walker and Donald Trump made empty promises\u200d about bringing new jobs home to our state\u2064 [and] about rebuilding our state&#8217;s infrastructure. All of those promises went unfulfilled,&#8221; Wikler said, highlighting the contrast between the failures of\u2064 the Trump-Walker era and the job growth and record low unemployment numbers \u2064experienced under the Biden-Harris and Gov.\u2064 Tony \u2064Evers (D-WI)\u200d administrations.<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic National Committee and Biden&#8217;s campaign are also using the collapsed investment \u2063by Foxconn as an example of Trump&#8217;s lack of follow-through. \u2062They argue that it demonstrates his inability to handle the economy\u2064 effectively.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I still \u200dremember when Donald Trump promised tens of thousands of Foxconn jobs in Wisconsin. What a colossal failure,&#8221; DNC National \u200dpress secretary Ammar Moussa wrote on X, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platform<\/a> formerly known as\u200d Twitter.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Biden campaign spokesman Kevin Munoz echoed this sentiment, stating, &#8220;President Biden has succeeded \u200cwhere the former president failed American\u200d families, including by helping create nearly 800,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-torched-over-disastrous-jobs-report-hes-not-the-next-fdr-hes-the-next-jimmy-carter\/\" title=\"Biden Torched Over Disastrous Jobs Report: He\u2019s Not The Next FDR, He\u2019s The Next Jimmy Carter\">000 manufacturing jobs<\/a> \u2062that actually exist throughout the country and more than \u2063doubling\u2064 the construction of new\u200d manufacturing plants.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite improvements in several economic markers during Biden&#8217;s \u2062administration, a recent\u200d New York Times-Siena poll revealed that voters still perceive the U.S. \u200ceconomy as poor. Over\u2063 half \u2062of those surveyed, 58%, \u200brated economic conditions \u200cnegatively, despite\u2063 declining\u200d inflation \u2064and a near 50-year low in unemployment rates.<\/p>\n<p>Given that the economy is considered the most important\u2062 issue for\u2062 voters in 2024, Democrats\u2063 are focused \u2062on convincing Wisconsin voters that Biden\u200c is better equipped to handle the economy than Trump. Wikler emphasized the contrast \u200dbetween the \u200dBiden administration&#8217;s bipartisan bills and the failed Foxconn \u200cdeal promoted by Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Wisconsin will\u2063 be a crucial state in the 2024 presidential contest. In 2016, Trump \u200bwon the state in a surprise victory over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. However, in 2020, Biden\u200b narrowly defeated Trump\u2063 in Wisconsin. Recent \u200bpolls indicate that\u200d Biden maintains\u200b a lead over \u200cTrump\u2062 in the state, \u2063as well\u200c as against potential GOP primary opponent Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In anticipation of a potential 2024 rematch between ex-President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, Wisconsin Democrats highlight the failure of Trump&#8217;s 2017 plan to create 13,000 manufacturing jobs in the state.
