Jill Biden to visit Duluth and Green Bay
The first lady will make campaign stops in both Wisconsin and Minnesota on Thursday, June 13. First Lady Jill Biden is launching her husband's outreach effort to older voters in four swing states, launching the "Seniors for Biden-Harris" effort. The strategy will involve rallies, phone banks, social events like bingo nights and pickleball games. Older adults are more likely than the average American to vote and make up larger shares of the population in some key swing states. While traditional rallies will include traditional rallies, these events will also use pickleballs to motivate older voters. The campaign manager, Julia Chavez Rodriguez, credits Jill Biden as a key figure in the campaign for their success. The trip marks Jill's return to the campaign trail following a difficult period for her family.

DULUTH, Minn. — First lady Jill Biden is kicking off her husband's outreach effort targeting older voters, a strategy that will blend rallies and phone banks with social events like bingo nights and pickleball games.
While President Joe Biden is in Italy attending the Group of Seven Summit, the first lady will travel to four swing states to launch the "Seniors for Biden-Harris" effort. Older adults are more likely than the average American to vote and they make up larger shares of the population in some key swing states.
Biden - who outperformed previous Democrats with the demographic in 2020 - is looking to expand on the gains as his campaign seeks to maximize its chances of defeating former President Donald Trump, the Republican presumptive nominee.
Jill Biden's travels will take her to Green Bay, Duluth, Reno, Nevada and Phoenix, the campaign said. While her events will feel like traditional rallies, the Biden campaign also plans to use pickleball events and bingo nights to motivate older voters and keep them activated to help the campaign heading into November.
“Seniors are such a critical part of our coalition, and it is vitally important that we engage them this election cycle because they know President Biden is the only candidate in this race fighting for lower prescription drug and health care costs and to protect and safeguard Medicare and Social Security,” said Biden campaign manager Julia Chavez Rodriguez. "Dr. Biden is both a trusted voice for seniors speaking to the issues that matter most to them and a galvanizing force to activate our supporters ahead of the election.”
Jill Biden spent much of the last 10 days at a federal courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware, supporting her son Hunter Biden, who on Tuesday was convicted on federal firearms charges. The upcoming swing marks her return to the campaign trail after what has been a trying experience for her family.
