Un peu plus de six mois après son investiture en tant que président et dix mois comme candidat, Joe Biden revient à Cincinnati, une des principales villes de l’Ohio au cœur de l’un des rares comtés où il a obtenu la majorité en novembre dernier. Il répondra aux questions de Don Lemon, animateur de la chaine CNN et répondra aux questions que se posent aujourd’hui les Américains dans un meeting de type town hall à la Mount St. Joseph University : la reprise de l’épidémie et la vaccination, l’inflation, la reprise économique, la polarisation de plus en plus forte, le projet de loi sur l’infrastructure à 3 500 milliards de dollars, le droit à l’avortement remis de plus en plus en question. Bref, les questions ne manquent pas.
De nombreux présidents ont fait le déplacement dans cette ville aux confins de trois états : l’Ohio, la Kentucky et l’Indiana.
