Wisconsin Democratic Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez entered the battleground state's open race for governor on Friday by calling President Donald Trump a "maniac," as she attempts to differentiate herself in what is expected to be a crowded primary.

A second Democrat, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, said in a statement Friday that in the weeks ahead, he "will be taking steps toward entering the race."
