Tulsi Gabbard To Moderate Trump Town Hall In Wisconsin As Midwest Campaign Ramps Up

 Former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard will moderate a town hall featuring former President Donald Trump in La Crosse, Wisconsin, on Thursday. 

Trump is scheduled to appear at the town hall at the La Crosse Center at 6:00 p.m. local time as part of a campaign swing through Midwest battleground states. The event comes just days after Gabbard formally endorsed Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris, who she ran against for the Democratic nomination in 2020. 

On Monday, Gabbard appeared with Trump at a campaign event in Detroit, where she urged Americans to back his candidacy. 

“I am proud to stand here before you today, whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, or an independent, if you love our country as I do, if you cherish peace and freedom as we do, I invite you to join me in doing all we can to save our country and elect President Donald J. Trump and send him back to the White House to do the tough work of saving our country and serving the people,” she said. 

Trump’s town hall will be aired live as part of The Daily Wire’s Election Wire coverage. 

 

Trump’s appearance in Wisconsin will follow another campaign stop in Potterville, Michigan, a town of about 2,600 located about 15 miles south of Lansing. Trump will reportedly speak on his economic policies, focusing on inflation and manufacturing at the Alro Steel factory.

“Alro Steel was approached by the Trump campaign to hold this press conference and agreed to the event to support manufacturing,” Alro Steel Business Development and Marketing Vice President Brian Glick told local outlet WILX. “We recognize the critical importance of manufacturing growth in the State of Michigan and this country.”

Both Wisconsin and Michigan are expected to be states that could determine the outcome of the 2024 election. Trump narrowly won both during his 2016 campaign, breaking through the Democrats’ “blue wall.” According to an average of polls in the battleground states, Harris currently maintains a 2.2-point average lead in Michigan and a 1-point lead in Wisconsin.
