Trump promised Wisconsin jobs. Biden actually delivered them
President Joe Biden traveled to Racine, Wisconsin, Wednesday to the future site of a new AI data center, where he announced Microsoft’s $3.3 billion investment in the location. The project is expected to generate 2,000 permanent jobs and 2,300 additional union jobs during construction.
The new facility is a victory for Biden’s economic policies and a big boost for the local area, but this specific plant offers a particularly stark contrast because it’s being built on the site originally designated for a massive factory for Chinese manufacturer Foxconn. When Donald Trump announced the Foxconn plant in 2018, he called it “the 8th wonder of the world” while promising that it would bring 13,000 jobs.
That did not happen. Now Biden is finally bringing Wisconsin the high-tech facility that Trump promised, but never delivered.
