The Democratic presidential candidate first though getting help from Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. At a rally with Russ Feingold Friday afternoon in Milwaukee, Warren bashed Clinton's opponent Donald Trump.
"Everybody who pays taxes to support medical research, Donald Trump thinks is stupid. Because accord to Donald Trump, he can use them all and not have to pay anything. What kind of man does that? A selfish little sleazeball," said Warren.
GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, will also visit the area on Saturday -- at the 1st Congressional Republican Party of Wisconsin Fall Fest.
"The bottom line is, if they want things to stay the way they are, go with Hillary Clinton. If they want to think to change, she's not the candidate," said Governor Scott Walker.
Other Republicans joining Trump in Elkhorn, at the Walworth County Fairgrounds, include Governor Walker, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senator Ron Johnson.
"There's a lot going on and I think it's good for the voters to see and hear from the candidates," said Walker.
This will be the first time Ryan and Johnson will appear on the campaign trail with Trump. Walker has attended one of Trump's three visits to Wisconsin.
