Now, reviving a tradition of U.S. presidents a day after the big speech, he is taking the message on the road, with stops in Wisconsin and Florida in the coming days, while his wife Jill Biden attends the NFL Super Bowl in Arizona. Biden travels first on Wednesday to DeForest in Wisconsin, a state that flipped from supporting Republican former President Donald Trump in 2016 to favoring Biden in 2020.
