President Joe Biden is set to visit Colorado, with stops in Denver and Pueblo, as part of his two-day tour. His visit to Pueblo initially planned for October but postponed due to national security meetings, will happen on Wednesday. Biden will tour CS Wind, the world’s largest wind tower manufacturer, during his Pueblo stop.
The community in Southern Colorado has shown mixed reactions to Biden’s upcoming visit. Residents like Mark Duran express enthusiasm, while others like Anna Breece remain skeptical of its benefits. The White House outlined that Biden’s visit aims to discuss clean energy and job creation linked to his economic investments. Furthermore, the President is expected to critique how MAGA Republicans, like Representative Lauren Boebert, are allegedly undermining these investments.
In a recent article from CBS News, Boebert, who narrowly retained her congressional seat last November, responded critically to Biden’s visit, accusing his policies of harming families in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District. She cited high costs under Biden’s administration and proposed her Pueblo Jobs Act as a countermeasure, aiming to create new jobs and bolster the local economy.
The President’s visit to Pueblo is not just a policy tour but also plays into the political landscape, with Boebert gearing up for reelection next year and her past opponent Adam Frisch planning to challenge her again.
