President Joe Biden schedules visit to Colorado on Monday

President Joe Biden is scheduled to travel to Colorado on Monday, the White House said, marking his fifth visit to the state since taking office.
The White House press office, which announced the trip, hasn’t released the president’s itinerary, but Democratic sources told Colorado Politics that Biden plans to make a stop in Pueblo.
Biden is expected to tour the city’s CS Wind factory, the largest wind turbine tower manufacturing plant in the world, sources said.
The company broke ground earlier this year on an expansion it says will double manufacturing capacity, with an anticipated 850 additional jobs at the plant by 2026.
In August, Biden mentioned CS Wind during a speech touting clean energy investments stemming from last year’s Democratic-sponsored Inflation Reduction Act at a wind tower plant in Albuquerque.
Noting that the CS Wind plant is in Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert’s congressional district, Biden wisecracked that “the very quiet Republican lady” voted against the legislation, “along with every other Republican.”
Boebert fired back on social media at Biden’s facetious description of her.
“Wishful thinking, Joe,” Boebert responded. “I’m calling you out every single day and I won’t be getting more quiet about it anytime soon!”
It’s unlikely that Boebert – or any members of Colorado’s congressional delegation – will be on hand for the presidential visit on Monday, as both the House and Senate are scheduled to be in session.
It will be Biden’s second trip to Colorado this year after delivering the commencement address at the U.S. Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs on June 1.
Also since the start of his administration, Biden spoke at Camp Hale in Eagle County on Oct. 12, 2022, to designate a national monument, and met with families affected by the Marshall fire during a Jan. 7, 2022, stop in Louisville.
Biden talked about clean energy jobs during a visit to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory outside Arvada on Sept. 14, 2021.
