Washington, Sep 3 (AP) Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden has arrived in Wisconsin, where he'll meet with relatives of Jacob Blake in Kenosha and hold a discussion with business figures, civic leaders and law enforcement officials.

Blake is the Black man who was shot seven times in the back on Aug. 23 by a white police officer as authorities tried to arrest Blake. He remains hospitalized.

Biden's trip comes two days after President Donald Trump visited Kenosha. Trump didn't meet with Blake's family. The president focused on thanking members of law enforcement for their handling of the violence that broke out after Blake's shooting.

It's Biden's first campaign stop in Wisconsin in nearly two years. It's also the first time since 2012 that a Democratic presidential candidate campaigned in the pivotal state.
