VP Kamala Harris to visit Chicago, highlight Biden’s economic plan

CHICAGO —  Vice President Kamala Harris is set to visit Chicago on Wednesday.

The White House said in a briefing that Harris would be in Illinois to showcase the Biden Administration’s achievements, including the President’s economic plan and bipartisan infrastructure law.

“The President’s economic plan is rebuilding our infrastructure, creating good-paying jobs – jobs that don’t require a four-year degree, and revitalizing communities left behind,” the White House said in its release on Monday.

No word yet on the vice president’s schedule while in the city.

The vice president last visited the city to campaign for Illinois Democrats before the midterm elections.
