Wisconsin considered one of country's top battleground states in upcoming presidential election
Days after reportedly calling Milwaukee "horrible" behind closed doors, former President Donald Trump will rally with his supporters just south of the city in one of the country's top battleground states.
Democrats have tried to capitalize on the incident to rally support for Biden around the state's largest city. During an appearance just outside the city that year, Trump asserted to a suburban crowd, "The violence, riots and destruction that have taken place in Milwaukee is an assault on the right of all citizens to live in security and peace."
This year, Trump has once again made crime a central focus of his campaign. In announcing the trip to Racine, the Trump team blamed Biden's polices for "spiked crime across Wisconsin" and asserted that Milwaukee was "experiencing the biggest increase in shootings in the country."
