Milwaukee: Joe Biden, Donald Trump's presidential rival, is determined to keep silent about the Republican's legal woes as the charges against him grow.

A day after Trump was charged for the fourth time with racketeering and interfering with an election in Georgia, Biden gave a speech in Wisconsin, another crucial swing state, emphasising wind energy and job growth.

In a wind turbine factory bustling with new orders, the Democrat bragged about new investments and jobs he believed were directly related to the significant energy and infrastructure policies he had implemented during his first term.

Despite the fact that the speech was specifically intended to counter Trump's message of American decline, he took care to avoid mentioning either his predecessor or the Georgia indictment, not even by name.

According to Republican political rhetoric, "they tell us America is failing," Biden said.
"They are mistaken... The US is not failing. It's successful.

On Tuesday aboard Air Force One, White House spokeswoman Olivia Dalton responded, "Certainly not going to comment," when asked about Trump's most recent legal development.

In preparation for a potential rematch with Trump in 2024, who is still the front-runner for the Republican nomination, Biden is treading carefully.
Trump's refusal to accept his loss to Biden in the 2020 presidential election has resulted in a number of indictments against him, first in federal court in August and then again on Monday in the southern state of Georgia, where he was accused of organising a mafia-like plot to overthrow Biden's victory.

Since Trump received his first indictment in New York earlier this year for payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels as hush money, 80-year-old Biden has remained silent.

The US president is aware that any remark he makes will be seized upon by Republican rivals as alleged evidence that he has sparked the Justice Department to paralyse his likely opponent in 2024.

Since the start of the summer, Biden has carefully avoided the media and their incessant inquiries about Trump. He was already reluctant to speak with them.

He frequently ignores questions shouted at him as he boards a plane or while riding his bike at his Delaware beach house. Instead, the Democrat sticks to prepared remarks on significant economic initiatives, particularly his lauded "Inflation Reduction Act."

Although the policy's name was intended to convey to Americans that it was being implemented in response to price increases, its core consists of incentives for investment and job growth in the renewable energy sector.

According to Biden, it has already attracted $110 billion in private capital.
Since President Biden took office, businesses have made over $3 billion in manufacturing and clean energy investments in Wisconsin alone, according to a Tuesday statement from the White House.

Biden is probably aware that he cannot block out the noise surrounding Trump's indictments and upcoming trials for his reelection campaign in 2024.
But he is wagering that eventually the US economy's strength, which has defied recession predictions, will persuade voters to support him.
Biden does not believe it is necessary to capitalise on Trump's legal problems in order to distinguish himself from his rival.

In the same way, he says nothing about the legal issues involving his own son, Hunter Biden, who could be charged with criminal tax fraud and other offences by a Justice Department special counsel who was just appointed last week. Even though it generated a lot of media attention, Georgia's indictment of Trump quickly overshadowed it.

Biden still has a steep battle ahead of him. He has a low confidence rating among voters, according to opinion polls, who are turned off by his age and are unsure of his economic strategy. Biden would be 86 when his second term as president ended if reelected.

Even so, the US president, who is at the pinnacle of a five-decade political career, is betting that time will be on his side and that voters will favour his personality over Trump's.
In a thinly veiled jab at his Republican opponent, Biden said on Tuesday, "This is still a country that believes in honesty, decency, and integrity."
