Biden touts new $3.3 billion Microsoft data center at failed Foxconn site Trump backed
) to build a $3.3 billion data center in southeastern Wisconsin that will create thousands of jobs in the presidential election battleground state.
Foxconn in 2021 said it would invest $672 million at the site instead of $10 billion initially planned and forecast 1,454 new jobs, down from 13,000. "We will train over 100,000 people in Wisconsin by the end of the decade so they have the AI skills to fill the jobs of tomorrow," Smith said. He credited Biden's legislation on infrastructure, chips and climate change with laying the groundwork for the investment.
Biden is seeking to shore up support among Black voters ahead of the Nov. 5 presidential election, with national polls showing him essentially tied in a rematch with Trump, a Republican making his third bid for the White House after losing to Biden in 2020.
