Former Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, announced Wednesday they'll be visiting Kenosha, Wisconsin on Thursday.
Biden's visit comes a day after President Trump stood at the center of the place where protests exploded following the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
The visit to Wisconsin marks Biden's first.
"Vice President Biden will hold a community meeting in Kenosha to bring together Americans to heal and address the challenges we face," his campaign said in a release. "After, Vice President Biden and Dr. Biden will make a local stop."
The President’s message of law and order comes a week after Kenosha residents such as Jacqueline Kafura, who’s spent time in Baltimore, saw buildings in their own neighborhood burn, or be looted.
"Well since I spent my last four summers in Baltimore and I witnessed Freddie Gray; I live here, my daughter goes to Hopkins, and I am very disappointed in my city," she said.
From Chicago, Ja’Mal Green, with Black Lives Matter, was there to say he’s not satisfied with any message he’s hearing.
"Neither side is fighting for the average Joe that is on the ground," he said.
But the President promised $4 million to help businesses rebuild and that message was welcome news to them.
Biden is mounting a more aggressive offense against Trump with a rare public appearance Monday declaring that a second term for Trump will mean more violence in America's streets.
"Does anyone believe there will be less violence in America if Donald Trump is reelected?" Biden planned to say in a speech from Pittsburgh. “We need justice in America. And we need safety in America. We are facing multiple crises – crises that, under Donald Trump, keep multiplying.”
The speech marks a new phase of the campaign as Biden steps up his travel after largely remaining near his home in Wilmington, Delaware, to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. And after centering his candidacy on Trump's mishandling of the pandemic, Biden is making a broader push to argue that Americans won't be safe if he wins reelection. That's an effort to blunt Trump's “law and order” message, which the president is emphasizing as some protests against racial injustice have become violent.
