Trumps heads to a deep-red part of swing-state Wisconsin to talk about the economy

MOSINEE, Wis. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump heads to Wisconsin on Saturday for a rally that’s intended to focus heavily on the economy, marking his first trip to the deep red, largely rural part of the key battleground state.

Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have been talking more about their plans for the economy in the days leading up to Tuesday’s presidential debate, where their dueling proposals are expected to take center stage.

Trump on Thursday promised to lead what he called a “national economic renaissance” by increasing tariffs, slashing regulations to boost energy production and drastically cutting government spending as well as corporate taxes for companies that produce in the U.S.

Harris this week called for increasing corporate tax rates, not taxing tips and Social Security income and expanding tax breaks for small businesses to promote more entrepreneurship.

Both Harris and Trump have been frequent visitors to Wisconsin this year, a state where four of the past six presidential elections have been decided by less than a percentage point. Several polls of Wisconsin voters conducted after President Joe Biden withdrew showed Harris and Trump in a close race.
