Joe Biden is coming to Colorado. He’ll be in the Denver area Tuesday and Pueblo on Wednesday.
President Joe Biden will make his second trip to Colorado this year when he attends a campaign fundraiser in the Denver area Tuesday and then visits a wind turbine factory in Pueblo on Wednesday.
The White House formally announced the trip Saturday evening.
It did not release details of the fundraiser, but a flyer for the event obtained by The Colorado Sun shows it will benefit the Biden Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee that gives money to Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign, as well as the Democratic National Committee and state-level Democratic parties. Gov. Jared Polis is listed as a special guest at the event, with tickets starting at $1,000.
The White House said Biden will then visit the CS Wind factory in Pueblo, the world’s largest wind turbine tower manufacturing plant, as he touts his administration’s economic policies and clean energy investments, specifically as they related to the Inflation Reduction Act. Congressional Democrats passed the bill and Biden signed it in 2022.
CS Wind recently invested $200 million in the Pueblo plant to expand its capacity, saying the Inflation Reduction Act was the catalyst for the spending. The South Korea-based company plans to hire 850 more workers at the plant by 2026.
Biden was originally scheduled to come to Pueblo in mid-October, but postponed his Colorado visit because of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
