How to watch Biden’s address in Westby, Wisconsin on Thursday

On Thursday, President Joe Biden will visit Wisconsin for the first time since dropping out of the presidential race in July — and announce a massive investment in rural electric companies along the way.

The president will launch the new initiative in Westby, a city in southwestern Wisconsin with a population of just over 2,300 people. The event comes exactly two months since his last visit to the state, an early July campaign rally in the Madison area.

Here’s everything you need to know about Biden’s Wisconsin visit, including from when he’s speaking to how to watch.

Why is Biden visiting Wisconsin?

Biden’s visit to Westby on Thursday is part of a series of trips the president will be making over the next few weeks to highlight his administration’s investments in local communities, a White House official told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

In Wisconsin, the president is expected to announce more than $7.3 billion in financing for the electrification of rural America — the largest such investment since the 1930s, according to USA Today. The initiative will be funded by the Inflation Reduction Act, the Biden administration’s 2022 law that targeted everything from drug prescription prices to green energy incentives.

The president’s Thursday visit is a White House event, meaning it is not officially part of the Harris-Walz campaign.
