Trump slated to visit Walworth County Saturday

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will be back in Wisconsin Saturday, this time appearing at a fall festival in Walworth County.

The annual event, hosted by the 1st District Republican party in Elkhorn, will feature other notable Wisconsin Republicans, including Gov. Scott Walker, House Speaker Paul Ryan and U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis.

The event will mark the first time that Trump has shared the stage with Ryan and Johnson. The pair spoke at the Republican National Convention in July but have not actively campaigned for the presidential nominee since.

Johnson is in a hotly contested race with Democrat Russ Feingold to retain his seat. Ryan has criticized Trump in the past for some of his more controversial remarks regarding immigrants and his back-and-forth with two Gold Star parents who criticized Trump at the Democratic National Convention.

Rumors had been circulating since Monday that the business mogul would be returning to the Badger State, having appeared at general election rallies in Green Bay, West Bend and Waukesha. The Hill reported that Trump’s campaign reached out to Ryan about a joint appearance earlier this week.

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has consistently led Trump in Wisconsin, despite the fact that the former Secretary of State has not visited the state since April’s primary election. In the most recent Marquette University Law School poll, Clinton led Trump by two points with likely voters.
