“Joe Biden will make his case for a $1.9 trillion stimulus plan directly to the public on his first official trip outside of Washington since becoming president in an attempt to pressure Congress into closing negotiations over the package,” the Financial Times reports.

“Biden’s planned visit to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Tuesday follows the swift conclusion of the impeachment trial against Donald Trump… The end of the proceedings will allow Biden to recapture the full attention of lawmakers for his economic agenda, which aims to combat the fallout from the pandemic with a massive new injection of government spending.”

Washington Post: Biden seeks to return attention to combating the coronavirus with televised town hall.
