Democratic presidential challenger Joe Biden will travel to Kenosha, Wisconsin on Thursday, his campaign said, after a controversial visit by Donald Trump to the city at the heart of fresh protests against racism and police brutality.
"Vice President Biden will hold a community meeting in Kenosha to bring together Americans to heal and address the challenges we face," a statement from his team said Wednesday in announcing the trip to the city where a black father, Jacob Blake, was shot seven times in the back by a white police officer on August 23.
