"Biden Announces $5B for Midwest Infrastructure, Including Minnesota and Wisconsin Bridges"

President Biden revisits the deteriorating John A. Blatnik Memorial Bridge in Wisconsin to announce nearly $5 billion in federal funding for infrastructure upgrades, jump-starting an election year push to persuade voters to reward him for his policy achievements. The funding comes from a $1.2 trillion infrastructure package signed into law more than two years ago. Biden's visit to Wisconsin highlights its place as a critical swing state, with the election less than 10 months away, and underscores the state's importance as a battleground. Democratic leaders in Wisconsin stress the significance of Biden's visit, as the state remains nearly evenly divided politically.
