President Biden to visit Milwaukee Wednesday
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WMTV) – President Joe Biden will make a stop in Milwaukee Wednesday, March 13th as part of his 2024 presidential campaign tour. Looking to keep momentum up since his State of the Union speech, the visit also comes as a push to visit key swing states.
According to the White House, the president will land at Milwaukee International Airport’s Air National Guard Base at around 2:00 p.m. Wednesday. He will then speak at the Pieper-Hillside Boys & Girls Club at around 4:00 p.m. There, Biden is expected to announce funding for projects going to disadvantaged communities. That $3.3 billion dollars he’s touting, is coming from the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law. He is also expected to highlight a project to reconnecting parts of Milwaukee’s 6th Street, with an estimated cost of $36 million.
After that, Biden has a campaign event kicking off at around 5:00 p.m. the location of that event is still unknown.
The president’s journey through the Midwest will also take him to Saginaw, Michigan Thursday. The last time Biden visited Wisconsin was in January of 2024 when he stopped in Superior, WI to visit the the deteriorating John A. Blatnik Memorial Bridge and discuss ways to improve infrastructure between Duluth, MN and Superior.
After visiting Milwaukee and Sagniaw, President Biden’s campaign says he plans to travel to North Carolina and other battleground states for the 2024 presidential election.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
