Donald Trump schedules campaign rally in Green Bay days before the election

Former President Donald Trump will return to northeastern Wisconsin next week to rally voters just days before the Nov. 5 election. 

Trump is expected to deliver remarks Wednesday evening at the Resch Center in the Green Bay suburb of Ashwaubenon, according to his campaign. An advisory for the event suggested Trump would center his remarks on the economy. He's expected to speak about 6 p.m.

The visit is scheduled just six days before the election and as surveys show a neck-and-neck race in Wisconsin. A handful of recent polls have shown the race dead even, and a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult survey on Thursday showed Trump edging Harris by just 0.3 points.

Wednesday's event would also mark Trump's second stop in Green Bay this year. He made his first stop in the battleground state in April, when he rallied voters in a downtown Green Bay convention center. Trump's running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, stopped in De Pere in late August.

Both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, and their surrogates, have barnstormed the state in recent weeks. Wisconsin will be among a handful of states that will decide the election.

Harris held an event with former Republican GOP Rep. Liz Cheney in Brookfield on Monday, and former President Barack Obama rallied voters with Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, in Madison on the first day of early, in-person voting on Tuesday.
