Husser, an associate professor of political science and director of the Elon University Poll, offered his analysis of Greensboro's selection for a visit by the president and what Biden is likely to highlight when he visits the city on Thursday, April 14.
President Joe Biden’s planned visit to Greensboro on Thursday, April 14, is likely a recognition of some recent economic wins in the central North Carolina city, Associate Professor of Political Science Jason Husser told CBS affiliate WFMY News 2 for a recent segment.
The media outlet was looking at the significance of the president’s visit to the city, with a planned stop at N.C. A&T State University to visit with students and faculty and to deliver remarks.
Husser, who is the director of the Elon University Poll, told the outlet that he expects Biden to point to local announcements like the aviation manufacturer Boom Supersonic’s decision to locate its plant at the Piedmont-Triad International Airport and Toyota’s decision to build an expansive electric batter plant south of Greensboro.
“It’s also a meaningful symbol that Greensboro is doing the types of things that the administration was hoping to see happen in the economy,” Husser said. “The president is hoping to be able to say his agenda is working despite many Americans feeling like the economy is not really where they wanted it to be when he came into the office.”
