President Joe Biden will visit a pair of key swing states on Labor Day.
While most of the country enjoys a day off, Biden will head to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, two states that swung from former President Donald Trump to Biden in 2020 and helped him secure the presidency. They were also key to Trump’s defeat of Hillary Clinton in 2016.

On Monday, Sept. 5, the president will visit the two states to “celebrate Labor Day and the dignity of American workers,” according to an announcement from the White House.
Biden has placed a heavy emphasis on the Midwest since taking office, frequently visiting the region and pushing for legislation such as the CHIPS and Science Act, designed to boost manufacturing. He has hosted Midwestern governors from both political parties at the White House and even said it’s time to retire the term “Rust Belt.”
The trip will mark Biden’s second visit to Pennsylvania in less than a week. He is scheduled to visit Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

Both states also enjoy a strong union president, a fit for Biden, who has touted himself as the most pro-union president in history.
Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman will meet with Biden at the Pittsburgh Labor Day parade, according to a spokesman. It is unclear if Fetterman will meet with Biden in Wilkes-Barre.
