2:37Now PlayingJoe Biden will make his first presidential trip to Illinois on Wednesday, seeking to rally bipartisan support for his economic proposals with a visit to a community college nestled in a conservative-leaning northwest suburb of Chicago.
The trip to Crystal Lake -- in a county won in 2020 by Donald Trump -- is the latest in a string of visits by the president to promote his infrastructure and social spending plans in tossup or Republican-leaning areas.
Last week, Biden visited a cherry farm in Michigan’s Antrim County and a transit depot in western Wisconsin as he sought backing for his agenda, including a $579 billion infrastructure package negotiated by a bipartisan group of senators and a separate tax and social spending bill that Democrats plan to pursue unilaterally.
During his visit to McHenry County College on Wednesday, Biden is expected to discuss his plan to provide free community college tuition to all Americans. The school has a workforce development program and child care center that could also receive funding boosts under the president’s proposals.
Biden will push for passage of remaining elements of his Build Back Better proposals, including elements of his American Jobs Plan that were excluded from the bipartisan infrastructure pact, an official familiar with the speech said.
