Biden to visit Wilmington this week to discuss Investing in America agenda

President Joe Biden will visit Wilmington, North Carolina on Thursday, according to a White House official.

The White House official said the president will “discuss how his Investing in America agenda is rebuilding our infrastructure and creating good-paying jobs in Wilmington and across the country.”

Biden last visited North Carolina at the end of March when he and Vice President Kamala Harris stopped in Raleigh. They spoke about lowering health care costs to a crowd at a community center.

Former President Donald Trump was scheduled to speak in Wilmington on April 20, but he canceled the event because of storms and severe weather that evening.

Biden and Trump have focused significant time in the battleground state of North Carolina. The Biden campaign has invested significant financial resources as they try to flip it blue. North Carolina hasn’t voted for a Democratic presidential nominee since Barack Obama in 2008.
