Donald Trump holding campaign rally in Racine next week
MADISON – Former President Donald Trump will visit Racine next week in a campaign stop his presidential campaign describes as a discussion of "how Joe Biden has failed the great people of Wisconsin."
Trump was last in Wisconsin in May, for a rally in Waukesha that held similar themes including arguing reelecting President Biden would "lead to the destruction of the country."
It's Trump's first visit to Wisconsin since being convicted by a New York jury on 34 felony counts in a hush money trial.

In the latest Marquette University Law School poll, Wisconsin voters are split on their November choices for president. Those surveyed by Marquette considered Trump better than Biden at handling immigration and border security, plus the economy, the Israel-Hamas war and foreign relations. Biden had the lead on health care, abortion policy and Medicare and Social Security.
Voters overall ranked the economy as their top issue, with 33% saying it would be most important in deciding who to vote for. Immigration and border security was the second, with 21% citing that issue.
Trump will hold his rally at 3 p.m. Tuesday at Racine Festival Park.
