Biden has no plans ‘at this point in time’ to visit Waukesha after Christmas parade attack

The White House does not have any plans to preview “at this point in time” for President Biden to visit Waukesha, Wis. after the Christmas parade attack earlier this month. 

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Monday was asked why the president has not yet visited Waukesha, after 39-year-old Darrell Brooks Jr. allegedly plowed through a crowd of innocent people attending a Christmas parade there, killing six people including an 8-year-old boy and injuring dozens more.

“As you saw the president convey last week, our hearts go out to this community, to the people in Waukesha that we’ve been in touch, obviously, with officials there,” Psaki said. “We’re all watching as people are recovering, and this is such a difficult time of year for this to happen–it’s difficult any time.” 

Psaki, though, explained that “any president going to visit a community requires a lot of assets” and requires “taking their resources.” 

“It’s not something that I have a trip to preview at this point in time,” Psaki said. “But we remain in touch with local officials and certainly our hearts are with the community as they’ve gone through such a difficult time.”

In the wake of the tragedy, Biden flew to North Carolina to celebrate a “Friendsgiving” with U.S. troops and then jetted to Nantucket for six days to celebrate Thanksgiving with his extended family.

Brooks had an extensive criminal history dating back to 1999, including multiple felonies. A convicted sex offender, Brooks posted bail twice in Wisconsin this year – despite having an active warrant for jumping bail on a sex crime charge in Nevada.
