WILMINGTON, UNITED STATES - Democratic presidential challenger Joe Biden will travel to Kenosha, Wisconsin on Thursday , his campaign said, after a controversial visit by Donald Trump to the city at the heart of fresh protests against racism and police brutality.
Biden will be accompanied by his wife Jill, and the couple will also make an unspecified"local stop," according to the campaign statement.Trump won it in a surprise victory in 2016, and the Republican president visited Kenosha on Tuesday - against the wishes of the Democratic mayor and state governor, who feared his presence would stoke tensions.
