Split Screen: Biden’s Delivering Jobs vs. Trump’s Broken Promises

Split Screen: Biden’s Delivering Jobs vs. Trump’s Broken Promises

Today in battleground Wisconsin, beyond vibes and pundit speak, voters get to see the clear split screen between President Biden’s record of accomplishment and Donald Trump’s broken promises.

Hell, even our friends at Fox and Friends agree.

President Biden is announcing that Microsoft is making a multi-billion dollar investment in Racine, Wisconsin, that is expected to create thousands of jobs.

For those keeping track, President Biden is delivering JOBS across the Blue Wall:

In Wisconsin, nearly 200,000 new jobs. In Pennsylvania, 500,000 new jobs. In Michigan, 350,000 new jobs.

Donald Trump’s record of broken promises is clear across the country:

Trump’s Broken Promise to Wisconsin: Trump promised $10 billion in investment and up to 13,000 new jobs at the Foxconn plant, calling it the “Eighth Wonder of the World” and the embodiment of the MAGA agenda.

• Trump’s Reality: The Foxconn investment was a failure. It created little more than 10% of jobs promised and less than 7% of promised investment – and cost taxpayers $4.5 billion. Under Trump, Wisconsin lost tens of thousands of jobs – including thousands of manufacturing jobs.

Trump’s Broken Promise to Michigan: Trump promised Michigan “won’t lose one plant” and a “complete revitalization of the Michigan manufacturing sector.”

• Trump’s Reality: Under Trump, GM’s Warren plant closed and workers lost jobs, Fiat Chrysler closed their assembly plan in Detroit, and Ford closed its Romeo engine plant. Under Trump, Michigan lost hundreds of thousands of jobs – including tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs.

Trump’s Broken Promise to Pennsylvania: Trump promised, “your jobs will come back under a Trump administration” and “we’re going to bring back our manufacturing.”

• Trump’s Reality: By 2018, in Southeastern Pennsylvania alone, five plants closed and hundreds lost jobs. Under Trump, Pennsylvania lost hundreds of thousands of jobs – including 23,000 manufacturing jobs.  

Trump’s Broken Promise to Ohio: Trump promised “those jobs have left Ohio. They’re all coming back” and “jobs will return … and new factories will come rushing onto our shores.” Trump boasted he would save the Lordstown plant.

• Trump’s Reality: GM shut down the Lordstown plant after Trump promised he would save it. Trump’s response to plant closure and lost jobs was, “It doesn’t really matter,” despite 1,500 workers losing their jobs. His next promise of a replacement plant… flopped.

Trump’s Broken Promise to Indiana: Trump promised to keep the Carrier plant and jobs in the U.S.

• Trump’s Reality: Carrier cut over 1,300 jobs from its plant and workers said they were “betrayed” by Trump.

Biden-Harris 2024 spokesperson James Singer released the following statement:

“The choice in this election is clear: Joe Biden is delivering jobs, while all Donald Trump delivered as president was broken promises.

“Joe Biden knows a job is a lot more than a paycheck – it’s about dignity. It’s why he’s spent every day working to bring our country back from the economic abyss Donald Trump left us in.

“Americans will go to the polls this November knowing that Joe Biden is a man of his word who has delivered 15 million new jobs, and that Donald Trump is a fraud who over-promised, under-delivered, and sold America out.”
