Both President Trump and Joe Biden will campaign in Wisconsin Friday
Both campaigns are also assembling teams of attorneys to watch election results in key battleground states


Oct. 31, MILWAUKEE --Both President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden will campaign in Wisconsin on Friday.

Biden will give remarks and meet with a small group of supporters during an event in Milwaukee, making this his third campaign stop in Wisconsin.

"I can tell you I’m really excited that he’s coming back to Wisconsin," U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) said when asked about Biden's visit and the state’s coronavirus numbers. "I think Joe coming to this state recognizes even in these times we need to keep on working."

Both Baldwin and the campaign note the event’s size, promising to abide by the city of Milwaukee’s order that political events do not exceed 100 people.

Meantime, Trump will hold a rally in Green Bay, his ninth visit to Wisconsin in 2020. Both the state of Wisconsin, and especially the northeast region of the state, has seen a surge of confirmed COVID-19 cases in recent weeks.

"I think a couple things are important to note about our rallies," said Trump campaign press secretary Hogan Gidley. "Any time we have an event we make sure to hand out masks because we want people to wear them and we want them to do that."

Both campaigns are also looking beyond Election Day and to the counting of absentee ballots in key battleground states.


"I think we need to start with a basic premise -- every vote needs to be counted," said former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, who is working with the Biden campaign. "The Biden campaign is prepared. We have lawyers deployed across the country if it comes to that. My hope is it doesn’t come to that."

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled this week all Wisconsin ballots must be in the hands of clerks by 8 p.m. on election night. The court, though, also said it would allow ballots to be accepted for several days beyond Election Day in states like Pennsylvania and North Carolina.     continue to read

Trump Rallies In Rochester, With Spillover From 250 Capacity Showing Support Outside

Oct. 30 - MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO/AP) -- President Donald Trump spoke Friday at the Rochester International Airport, to a crowd of about 250 supporters, but hundreds of others who couldn’t get inside were showing their support outside.


Trump spoke briefly to the hundreds who gathered outside the venue, Rochester International Airport, before giving quick remarks on the tarmac to supporters who were allowed onsite. The president, whose campaign rally speeches are typically fiery and at least an hour long, was unusually subdued. He did, however, lash out at the state’s Democratic Gov. Tim Walz and its attorney general.

“Your far left Democrat Attorney General Keith Ellison and your Democrat governor tried to shut down our rally, silence the people of Minnesota, and take away your freedom and your rights,” Trump said.     continue to read



Donald Trump was forced to do a socially distanced rally and he did not enjoy it
The President moaned bitterly after he was forced to only let 250 people into his rally in Minnesota - and the problems didn't end there


Oct. 31 - After travelling for several hours to speak at the rally, it was plagued with sound problems - with the microphone being inaudible on broadcasts of the speech for much of the time.

And the President completed his stump speech, which frequently runs to more than an hour, in around 21 minutes.


Just 250 people were allowed into the rally proper, all seated six feet apart from each other in the Rochester Minnesota airfield.

But many more crowded outside the boundaries of the rally site, crowded together and largely mask-free.     continue to read
