Trump to campaign in Wisconsin ahead of vice presidential debate
(NewsNation) — Former President Donald Trump is returning to the campaign trail ahead of Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate between Ohio Sen. JD Vance and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Trump spoke Monday in Valdosta, Georgia, a city damaged by Hurricane Helene. Vice President Kamala Harris cut her campaign visit to Las Vegas short to return to Washington for briefings on the hurricane, while President Joe Biden said he would travel to affected areas later this week.
On Tuesday, Trump will campaign in Wisconsin, one of several battleground states expected to play a major role in the 2024 presidential election.
The former president is set to first speak at a manufacturing facility in the Madison suburb of Waunakee at 2:30 p.m. ET before heading to Discovery World, a museum in Milwaukee, where he’s slated to be at 6 p.m.
Currently, Trump trails Harris in the Badger State by 1.7 percentage points, according to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ polling averages.
The Harris campaign has no scheduled events planned for Tuesday.
