- Kicking off a critical few days in which he needs to assure supporters and donors he’s still the best bet to take on former President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden is traveling to Madison on Friday hoping to revive a campaign staggered by a disastrous debate performance against Trump last week.
- The president was due to hold a rally at Sherman Middle School on Madison’s North Side before heading back to Washington Friday afternoon. Biden’s Madison visit, his fifth to Wisconsin this year, is to be followed by an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos Friday night and a visit to Philadelphia on Sunday. He also plans to hold a full news conference during the NATO summit in Washington next week.
- The Wisconsin State Journal will have live updates from the scene throughout the day Friday.
- 2:40 p.m.| ‘I am running and going to win again’
- Biden gave supporters the pledge many were waiting to hear and others, perhaps, were fearing: Despite the fact that he is the Democratic Party’s nominee, he said, some were trying to push him out of the race.
