Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, made a visit to Waukesha where he was joined by Waukesha Mayor Shawn Reilly, a former Republican turned independent who endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. The event took place against a politically charged backdrop, with signs supporting both the Walz-Harris and Trump campaigns visible in the area. During an interview with WISN 12 News, Walz drew controversy by comparing Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden to a Nazi rally in the 1930s, highlighting the rhetoric of hate and division he believes is prevalent in Trump’s campaign. Specifically, Walz criticized Trump’s stance on Puerto Rico and divisive tactics.
The visit to Wisconsin is part of a final campaign push for both the Harris-Walz and Trump campaigns, with both Harris and Trump set to return to the state for additional events. Earlier in the day, Walz also stopped in Manitowoc as part of his seventh visit to Wisconsin since becoming the Democratic vice presidential candidate. This visit is part of a larger strategy to secure support from crucial states like Wisconsin leading up to the election.
The political landscape in Wisconsin remains tense as both campaigns continue to vie for support in this battleground state. Walz’s visit to Waukesha and Manitowoc is just one part of a larger effort to engage voters and secure victory in the upcoming election.
