(NewsNation) — Just days after reportedly calling Milwaukee, Wisconsin “horrible,” former President Donald Trump is holding a campaign rally in the key battleground state.
The event in Racine, Wisconsin, comes less than a month before the Republican National Convention.
Trump allegedly made derogatory comments about Milwaukee in a closed-door meeting with congressional Republicans at the Capitol last week.
His campaign says the former president’s comments referred to election integrity and crime, with Trump turning to Truth Social, posting: “Democrats are making up stories that I said Milwaukee is a ‘horrible city.'”
“This is false, a complete lie, just as the Laptop from Hell was a lie, Russia, Russia, Russia was a lie and much more. It’s called Disinformation and it’s all they know how to do. I chose Milwaukee, I know it well. It should therefore lead to my victory in Wisconsin,” he wrote, referring to the city that will host the upcoming Republican National Convention.
Meanwhile, Trump is expected to deliver a familiar message in Racine, criticizing President Joe Biden for his handling of immigration and the economy. He will also likely explain how his MAGA economics is better than Bidenomics, something he repeated during the campaign.
Before the RNC begins on July 15, Trump and Biden will participate in a presidential debate hosted by CNN on June 27. Trump and his team are convinced that the debates will exacerbate voters’ concerns about Biden’s age and competence, while Biden’s team believes that Trump’s often-incendiary rhetoric will remind voters of the reason they kicked him out of the White House ago. four years.
Trump’s senior advisers told NewsNation that the former president is preparing for the debate by holding meetings with GOP allies to hammer out policy, an unusual approach to debate prep.
Meanwhile, Biden will head to Camp David for a more traditional approach to preparation through mock debates.
Trump hopes to win back blue-collar support in the swing state, which he lost to Biden in 2020. Wisconsin put Trump over the top in the electoral college votes in 2016. Four years later, the state’s voters gave Joe Biden the victory by less than 1% of votes.
The latest NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ poll has Biden one point ahead of Trump in Wisconsin, predicting a tight race ahead of the November election.
