MADISON, WI -- Ahead of President Biden’s visit to Racine on May 8th, to announce Microsoft’s new $3.3 billion investment in southeast Wisconsin, Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler released the following statement:

“On May 8th, President Biden returns to southeast Wisconsin to actually deliver the sort of jobs and investment that Trump breathlessly promised for years. Thanks to this new $3.3 billion investment, Wisconsin will see 2,300 union construction jobs and 2,000 permanent jobs over time, as Microsoft constructs a new, state-of-the-art AI data center on the site where Trump once hoisted a golden shovel and trumpeted the ‘8th wonder of the world.’ Where Trump brought only broken promises, wasted taxpayer dollars, and massive handouts to foreign corporations, President Biden is delivering real jobs and investment to southeast Wisconsin. Wisconsin Democrats are thrilled to welcome President Biden back to Wisconsin.”
