President Biden's approval rating is sagging as he visits the Chicago area Wednesday. He will speak at a Kankakee farm and a convention.
The first stop is a family farm in Kankakee, but the president has a full day planned.President Joe Biden thanked farmers for being the "backbone of democracy" during his visit to a Kankakee, Illinois farm Wednesday.
The president's visit coincided with the middle of planting season, and at a time when inflation is very much top of mind. Biden heard from farmers directly and offered some assistance. Biden said his administration will offer assistance to use technology to improve production, expand access to double cropping insurance and increase investments in domestic fertilizer production.
This part of Illinois tends to be more conservative, and there was a contingent of Donald Trump supporters who were kept away from the farm. They wanted Biden to know not everyone welcomed his visit. But farmer Keith Musselman made sure he took the opportunity to shake the president's hand before he left.
