Reactions and statements

WisGOP Chairman Brian Schimming

“Lowering inflation, reducing crime, and making rent affordable again are the issues that will decide this election. While Democrats delude themselves into thinking Milwaukeeans care one iota about their latest caravan of Hollywood celebrities, President Trump and Republicans are focusing on the needs of working families.”

Milwaukee Major Cavalier Johnson

“Donald Trump calls us a ‘horrible’ city and spends every visit here complaining about his own problems instead of proposing any solutions to make our lives better. That’s not what Milwaukee and Wisconsin are about. While Donald Trump has an enemies list, Vice President Harris has a to-do list for working families. We’re ready to turn the page on Trump and come together to elect Vice President Kamala Harris, who will fight for all of us and chart a hopeful, more optimistic vision for the future. “

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley

“Wisconsin has borne the brunt of Kamala Harris’ job-killing economic policies which destroyed thousands of manufacturing jobs. Since Harris took office, the country has lost more manufacturing jobs than it created—46,000 were lost in the last month alone. The hardworking men and women of Wisconsin will vote for President Trump to bring jobs home, put money back in their pockets, and Make America Wealthy Again!”
