President Donald Trump brought a law and order message to Midwest battle states Monday.
He told crowds in Wisconsin and Minnesota it is “crunch time” for the November election.
Trump won Wisconsin’s electoral votes by less than one percent in 2016 and the margin appears to be razor-thin again.
During a Monday stop in Oshkosh, the president seized on Joe Biden’s decision not to come to Milwaukee for his party’s national convention. He said that means Biden is “effectively abandoning” Wisconsin.
The Clinton campaign felt it lost Wisconsin four years ago because she failed to visit the Badger State.
Meanwhile, opening night speakers for the virtual Democratic National Convention started by blaming President Trump, accusing him of messing up the response to the coronavirus pandemic. That’s why, they say, 50,000 party delegates didn’t come to Milwaukee.
Keynote speaker Michelle Obama stressed the competency and character of her party’s presumptive nominee, Joe Biden. She criticized Trump for a lack of empathy, calling him “the wrong president for our country.”
She urged the audience to vote early, request absentee ballots immediately, and return them as soon as possible.
