Trump to Hold Rally in Wisconsin; Harris Prepares for Debate in Pittsburgh

On Saturday, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is set to hold a campaign rally at the Central Wisconsin Airport in Mosinee, a small city located about 180 miles northwest of Milwaukee. This rally will mark his fourth event in Wisconsin during the current campaign cycle, following previous rallies in Green Bay, Waukesha, and Racine, along with a town hall event last week in La Crosse.

The rally is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. EDT and is expected to focus on economic issues, with Trump likely delivering pointed critiques of Democratic opponent Kamala Harris, whom he has dubbed “Comrade Kamala Harris,” specifically on the subject of inflation.

Trump’s campaign has emphasized that voting Republican will create a robust economy offering better job opportunities, increased income, and lower unemployment rates for the people of Wisconsin. A statement from his team claimed, “If Americans want more money in their pockets, the only option is to vote for President Trump.”

In recent remarks, Trump has made promises to reduce inflation and impose tariffs on nearly all imported goods. During a rally in North Carolina, he highlighted the dire consequences of inflation for American families, asserting that it is the most pressing issue in the upcoming election, followed closely by concerns about crime and border security.

He stated, “Everyone will prosper. Every family will thrive, and every day will be filled with opportunity, hope, and joy” if he is re-elected as president.

However, many economists have raised concerns that implementing broad-based tariffs could further escalate inflation, leading to increased prices on everyday consumer goods. Harris has pointed out that such tariffs could potentially cost middle-class families an additional $4,000 each year due to higher prices.

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is in Pittsburgh, preparing for the upcoming high-stakes presidential debate against Trump, scheduled for Tuesday. On Saturday morning, she made a brief appearance in the city’s Strip District, where she stopped at Penzey’s Spices to engage with customers and answer questions from the media.

Accompanying her campaign efforts, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who is Harris’ running mate, is also on the campaign trail. He is slated to deliver a keynote address at the annual Human Rights Campaign National Dinner in Washington, D.C. HRC President Kelley Robinson expressed excitement over Walz’s participation, noting his longstanding commitment to championing equality in various roles throughout his career.

Additionally, the Democratic National Committee has taken to the skies above college football games in pivotal Midwestern battleground states, flying banners that associate Trump and Republican candidate J.D. Vance with the controversial conservative initiative known as Project 2025.

Banners flying over the University of Michigan read, “JD Vance,” while another over Penn State University declared, “Beat Trump, Sack Project 2025.” A banner at the University of Wisconsin referenced a tradition in the stadium, stating, “Jump Around! Beat Trump + Project 2025.”

Abhi Rahman, Deputy Communications Director for the DNC, commented, “It’s college football Saturday, and fans are ready to sack the competition and beat Project 2025, which would give Trump unprecedented power, allow Trump to ban abortion nationwide, monitor pregnancies, and provide tax giveaways for billionaires.”

He continued, “The contrast in this election couldn’t be clearer, and we have a winning playbook: sack Project 2025, make a goal-line stand, and drive 99 yards the other way towards a more just and equal America for all.”
