Official statements
Team Trump Wisconsin Communications Director Jacob Fischer
"President Trump’s America First Agenda is for ALL Americans and is exactly why he has built the largest coalition of supporters, including Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr, Brett Favre, Elon Musk, and many others. Kamala Harris’ desperate attempt to distract voters from her disastrous record won’t work; stump speeches from Cardi B or Jennifer Garner won’t close the border or lower costs for Wisconsinites. Wisconsin voters know President Trump will fix what Kamala broke and will show up in droves to Make America Great Again on Tuesday."
