Biden campaign jumps as Fox's Peter Doocy reports on him fulfilling empty Trump promises

Fox News' Peter Doocy, who is well known for getting into sparring matches with Biden White House press officials, highlighted some news on Wednesday that President Joe Biden's campaign couldn't resist sharing.

During a Wednesday morning broadcast on "Fox & Friends," Doocy discussed Microsoft's announcement that it would be building an artificial intelligence data center in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin — the same location where former President Donald Trump once vowed to build a job-creating Foxconn plant that never came to fruition.

As the Wall Street Journal reported, Biden traveled to Wisconsin to tout the new project on Wednesday along with executives from Microsoft, who "said the new site would initially create 2,300 construction jobs and eventually as many as 2,000 data center jobs."

"Microsoft said it is also investing in a new AI lab at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee campus to train workers to use AI technology," noted WSJ.

"Fox & Friends" host Steve Doocy, who happens to be Peter Doocy's father, made sure to note that the Microsoft data center was being built in the same community where "Foxconn said, 'We're going to build a big plant' and they never did."

"Yes," replied Peter Doocy. "And that was a huge Trump announcement back then and he said that the factory was going to be the 'eighth wonder of the world.' But then Foxconn decided to really scale back their plans and the land is still available, so Microsoft is going in."

"It's going to be good for those people," Steve Doocy replied.

The official Biden-Harris HQ Twitter account took note of the reporting and made sure to tout it in a rare instance of the conservative cable news network providing positive coverage of the Biden White House.
