Few cities have received as much care and attention from Joe Biden as Milwaukee.

His courtship started early: He traveled here to tout his Covid relief plan in his first official trip as president. He visited again last December and then once more in March, not long after clinching the 2024 Democratic nomination — and unlike most trips, he didn’t dash home to the White House afterward. The president instead overnighted in the city’s famed Pfister hotel.

In fact, his administration always seems to have a presence here: Vice President Kamala Harris, Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison and a handful of Cabinet officials have also visited Wisconsin’s largest city just since the start of the year, promoting various initiatives or federal dollars directed its way.
