Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is focusing on Wisconsin, a key battleground state, with a rally aimed at reinforcing his base of working-class and rural white voters. His support has waned among most demographics, but he retains strong support from whites without a college degree, crucial for his campaign against Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is heading to Wisconsin, a pivotal battleground state, for a rally this Saturday in an attempt to fortify his support among working-class and rural white voters.

The former president's backing has diminished across most demographics since Vice President Kamala Harris replaced President Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket. Harris has made strides among Hispanic and Black voters, but whites without a college degree, a cornerstone of Trump's coalition, still favor him considerably.

As Trump aims to secure these key demographics, his campaign has intensified efforts in predominantly white, rural areas, particularly in the northern 'Rust Belt' states. Meanwhile, Trump's running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, is also targeting relatively rural Rust Belt areas as the campaign enters its final weeks.
