Wisconsin is a battleground state: Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Tim Kaine will be here Friday

MILWAUKEE/GREEN BAY -- Both presidential campaigns consider Wisconsin a battleground state leading up to the election in November. Both campaigns will be here in the Badger State on Friday, August 5th. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence will host a rally in Green Bay, and Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine will be in Milwaukee.

"I think a lot of people here agree this is an important election. A lot is happening in our country," Dylan Mazurkiewicz with Lakefront Brewery said.

On Friday at 11:00 a.m., the doors to Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee will open ahead of Senator Tim Kaine's speech scheduled for 1:00 p.m.

"I can`t wait to show him around and show him what Milwaukee has to offer," Mazurkiewicz said.

Kaine will take a private tour of the brewery, taste some beers and then head outside -- where he will speak to a crowd of about 300 to 400 people about Hillary Clinton and job creation.

"They like to represent that working class sort of person -- and we really feel like we fit the bill. We get our hands dirty making beer," Mazurkiewicz said.

FOX6 News spotted some Secret Service officials outside the brewery Wednesday, August 3rd.

Similar preparations were underway at the KI Center in Green Bay, where Donald Trump and Mike Pence will speak Friday night.

One of their biggest supporters is Paul Nehlen, who is running against Paul Ryan for the 1st Congressional District seat.

"Ryan's efforts to undermine the Republican nominee, who he pretends to have endorsed, is exactly the kind of two-faced, dishonest politics that represents what's wrong with Washington today," Nehlen said.

Ryan will not attend the Trump rally in Green Bay. Officials with his office said he has a full day scheduled on Friday.

Governor Scott Walker also will not be there. He will be touring flood damage in northern Wisconsin.

Senator Ron Johnson won't be able to make it because of prior commitments.

All three have said they'll support the Republican nominee.
