Trump heads to Wisconsin's critical Democratic stronghold ahead of vice presidential debate

Former President Donald Trump planned to spend the hours ahead of Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate campaigning in Wisconsin. Trump is scheduled to stop in a critical Democratic county where he’s never been before that is crucial to Democrat Kamala Harris’ hopes for winning the key battleground state. Trump was to appear at a manufacturing facility in Waunakee, a suburb of Wisconsin’s capital city of Madison in the Democratic stronghold of Dane County. Later on Tuesday, Trump planned to hold an event at a museum in Milwaukee. Trump was expected to focus his comments in Wisconsin on the economy. Trump must cut into the large Democratic majority in Dane County to win statewide.

Rachel Maddow reports on new campaign finance filings that show Trump paid $20,000 to the nonunion auto parts plant he used to stage the event.
