Biden heads to Michigan with focus on the economy, rebuilding the 'Blue Wall'

Source: ABC News

Former Vice President Joe Biden will campaign from Michigan on Wednesday, continuing an ongoing campaign blitz across the Midwest as the 2020 race enters its final eight weeks.

The Democratic presidential nominee is set to deliver remarks in Warren, Michigan, on his plans to juice the American manufacturing sector by encouraging the purchase of goods made in the United States and discouraging companies from offshoring and outsourcing jobs, a phenomenon Biden will say is a result of Trump's "broken promises" to workers.

Part of that speech will include the unveiling of a new policy proposal aimed at incentivizing companies to produce goods in America through a 10% tax credit and discouraging them from outsourcing and offshoring American jobs by imposing a new 10% surtax on companies that ship those jobs overseas.

The trip comes as Biden attempts to chip away at what has been a consistent and rare bright spot for President Donald Trump in the polls: his handling of the economy. A recent poll from Quinnipiac University shows the two candidates tied when it comes to who voters trust more to handle the economy, a departure from voters' views on who can best handle the coronavirus pandemic and racial inequality. On those issues Biden is favored.

and Trump will make little headway on COVID and race. Maybe the public will awaken to the tens of millions out of work, no cash flow, and bill forgiveness ending?
