First Lady Jill Biden is coming to Ann Arbor on Monday, as part of the White Houses's 20-state "Investing in America" tour.

As Michigan Radio's Kate Wells reports, the tour is focused on the president's economic achievements.

In the coming weeks, President Biden is expected to announce he's running for a second term. But he's doing it at a time when the cost of everything from food to housing is still far higher than it was just a few years ago...

Even if inflation has cooled a bit and there are hopes it's finally turned a corner.

The First Lady is expected to talk about workforce training and jobs for people without four-year degrees.
