Former President Donald Trump will hold a rally in Wisconsin on Saturday, his first visit to the rural, heavily Republican part of this crucial battleground state, focusing on economic issues.

In the run-up to Tuesday's presidential debate, both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have been elaborating on their economic plans. Trump has pledged a 'national economic renaissance,' promising increased tariffs, slashed regulations to boost energy production, and significant reductions in government spending and corporate taxes for domestic manufacturers. Meanwhile, Harris is advocating for higher corporate tax rates, expanding tax breaks for small businesses, and not taxing tips and Social Security income.

Wisconsin remains deeply contested, with past elections being decided by narrow margins. Both Trump and Harris have made frequent trips to the state, underscoring its electoral importance. Trump's upcoming rally will take place in Mosinee, a key Republican stronghold. Democrats have relied on Milwaukee and Madison to counter GOP's rural strength. With high-profile visits and economic plans, both parties are keen on securing Wisconsin votes.
