Capitol Notes: What Impact Would Trump Visit Have On Walker Campaign?

Some heavy hitters are beginning to appear in Wisconsin on behalf of the candidates this fall. Vice President Mike Pence held a fundraiser in Milwaukee last week for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Leah Vukmir. She's facing Democratic incumbent Tammy Baldwin in November.

Pence says both he — and President Trump — plan on coming back to Wisconsin to rally for Vukmir and Gov. Walker before the mid-term elections. Walker is locked in a tight race with Democratic challenger Tony Evers.

In this week's Capitol Notes conversation, Marti Mikkelson asked Jeff Mayers of wispolitics.com what kind of impact a presidential visit would have on the Walker campaign.

Marti was a reporter with WUWM from 1999 to 2021.
