Vice President Pence To Visit Waukesha Tuesday For Rally

WAUKESHA,WI—Vice President Mike Pence will make a campaign stop Tuesday in Waukesha. The vice president will be hosting a "Make America Great Again" event at Weldall MFG, Inc. Pence will land at General Mitchell International Airport around 11:35 a.m.

Eric Trump held two events in Wisconsin on Monday, one in Menomonee Falls and another in Milton.

The event will take place at Weldall MFG, Inc. around 12 p.m. Doors open at 10 a.m.

President Donald Trump on Monday held his first campaign rally since contracting the coronavirus, according to an Associated Press report. There was no social distancing and mask-wearing was sparse among the attendees who came to see Trump's rally, according to the report.

With The Village People's “YMCA,” blaring over, the president did a dance for his supporters but at distance from the crowd.

Ahead of Pence's visit, the Biden Campaign released a news release on Monday.

"Today, Biden for President Deputy Campaign Manager and Communications Director Kate Bedingfield released the following statement on Vice President Mike Pence's trip to Wisconsin:

"During his time as the head of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, Vice President Mike Pence has demonstrated that the Trump Administration is woefully incapable of getting the coronavirus pandemic under control. President Trump has shown a reckless disregard for the lives and livelihood of the American people — and nowhere is that more clear than in Wisconsin.

As coronavirus infections, hospitalizations, and deaths surge across the state, the Trump Administration still doesn't have a plan to beat the virus. As voters continue to receive their ballots, Wisconsinites have the power to turn the page on President Trump's failures and chaos. Joe Biden has a plan to defeat this pandemic and build back better than before— by rebuilding the middle class, ensuring the future is made in America by American workers, and finally making access to affordable health care a right for all Americans."

As of Monday, more than 152,000 people in Wisconsin had tested positive for the virus, with 1,474 deaths, according to the state Department of Health Services. The seven-day average of new confirmed cases reached a new record high of 2,547, up from 2,395 a week ago.
