With recent polls in his favor, former President Donald Trump is on his way to Waukesha

WAUKESHA, Wis. (Civic Media) — Former President Donald Trump is headed back to Wisconsin tomorrow as he tries to bolster his standing ahead of a 2024 comeback bid for the White House.

Trump’s campaign said on Wednesday he plans to deliver remarks in the early afternoon at the Waukesha County Expo Center. The doors at the Expo Center will open at 11am. Speeches are set to start at 2pm. Following the Wisconsin stop, Trump will head to Freeland, Michigan, for an early evening rally.

The visits are part of Trump’s effort to keep his movement alive in states that will play a pivotal role in deciding the 2024 election. Recent polling shows Trump with slight leads over President Joe Biden in Wisconsin and several other swing states, though the margins are tight.

An Emerson College/The Hill poll this month found Trump leading Biden by 2 percentage points in Wisconsin and Michigan. Trump also had small single-digit advantages in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

A CNN poll conducted by SSRS this month found 55% of Americans consider Trump’s presidency a success, compared to 61% who see Biden’s as a failure. Trump’s support among registered voters stood at 49%, while Biden’s was at 43%

Trump’s campaign said that if elected, he would focus on priorities like securing the nation’s borders, restoring American leadership abroad, and taming inflation to rebuild household wealth.

Trump’s last visit to Wisconsin was on April 2 for a rally in Green Bay. Biden has made 10 stops in the state since becoming president, and Vice President Kamala Harris has been here seven times.

Biden’s Wisconsin communications director, Natalie Ferrier, criticized Trump’s visit, accusing him of “ripping away women’s freedoms and encouraging violence to overturn an election.” while talking to WisPolitics.com

Trump’s schedule for the campaign stop is open because the presiding judge in his trial uses Wednesdays to attend to other cases. His criminal trial started earlier this month in Manhattan. The trial centers around a hush money payment made by Trump’s former fixer during the 2016 election cycle. The case is being heard by a jury, and it marks a historic moment as it is the first time a former U.S. president is facing a criminal trial.
