President Joe Biden announced the deadline during a speech in Milwaukee this afternoon. He says the rule will help make sure all Americans have safe and clean drinking water. The Environmental Protection Agency says Milwaukee has the fifth-highest number of lead pipes in the country.
Also from the White House, the First Lady will be in Wisconsin for a campaign stop this weekend. The Kamala Harris campaign announced today that Dr. Jill Biden will be in Madison on Sunday to talk about reproductive rights and urge people to get out to the polls in November.
