Biden emphasized the strength of the economy when leveraging the talents of all citizens, rejecting Trump's claims of immigrants "polluting" the nation.
Speaking at the Milwaukee Black Chamber of Commerce, Biden underscored the importance of a fair shot for everyone and celebrated the success of Black-owned small businesses, aligning it with his economic vision, dubbed "Bidenomics." The President's visit included a stop at Hero Plumbing, a Black-owned business addressing lead pipe issues.
