Donald Trump schedules campaign stops in Wisconsin Democratic strongholds
Former President Donald Trump will return to Wisconsin Tuesday with stops in Dane County and Milwaukee, two of the most Democratic areas of the state.
Some Republicans in the swing state, most notably former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson, have encouraged Trump to come to the blue areas to counter Democrats' margins and reach more voters.
Trump will deliver remarks at Dane Manufacturing in Waunakee, about 13 miles north of Madison, at 1:30 p.m. Republican U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde, who is challenging incumbent Tammy Baldwin, recently held a campaign appearance at the metal fabrication facility.
Trump will then speak at Discovery World, a science museum along Lake Michigan, in Milwaukee at 5 p.m. Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance gave a speech at the same venue during the Republican National Convention.
Trump is in Prairie du Chien this weekend as both campaigns ramp up travel with less than 40 days until Election Day. He is expected to deliver remarks on immigration Saturday and focus on the economy in his stops next week.
Doug Emhoff, the husband of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, will also campaign in Milwaukee on Tuesday. No location has been announced yet for his visit. Harris held a rally in Madison on Sept. 20.
