(Washington) US President Joe Biden leaves Wednesday for Colorado, then California and Oregon, three western states, to promote his record just under a month before the legislative elections.

His first stop will be Camp Hale, Colorado, a former US Army training site for World War II, which he will classify as a protected “National Monument”, according to the White House.
This is a long-standing claim of the tenors of the Democratic Party in the state.
He will also announce funding to address the region’s drought problems, linked to a broad program of environmental investments and social spending passed by Congress this summer.
One month before the mid-term elections, Joe Biden is increasing his travels to praise his record, in the hope that this will allow the Democratic Party to keep control of at least the Senate, one of the two chambers of the American Congress.
He will travel, after Colorado, to California and Oregon, to report on his cost of living and infrastructure reforms.
The 79-year-old Democrat will also lend himself to fundraising, a necessary part of American political life.
A spokesperson for the Democratic Party recently claimed that “thanks in large part to President Biden” the party had raised $107 million so far this year, a record he said.
Joe Biden has since January participated in twelve fundraising events.
American political commentators have stressed, however, that this tour will not take the American president to two western states where the elections for the Senate promise to be particularly disputed, namely Arizona and Nevada.
