Republican nominee Donald Trump enters the homestretch of the volatile 2016 presidential campaign by making a strong push for votes in Wisconsin — despite consistently trailing in the polls here and lacking support from key conservatives.

Trump and running mate Indiana Gov. Mike Pence are scheduled to campaign in Eau Claire on Tuesday, one week before Election Day and amid a campaign shaken up by revelations of a renewed FBI investigation into emails tied to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
..........................
................................

Gov. Scott Walker will be campaigning with Trump in Eau Claire, his spokesman said. It will be the second time Walker, a former presidential contender who signed a pledge to support the nominee, campaigns with Trump in the state, and the first since the Elkhorn event.

A spokesman for Sen. Ron Johnson, who is seeking re-election, didn’t respond Monday to a request for comment on whether Johnson will campaign with Trump. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani will campaign for Trump in Green Bay on Tuesday..........................

Story highlights

Clinton will air ads in Wisconsin, a state she is leading Donald Trump
The ads are also meant to help boost Democratic Senate candidate Russ Feingold

Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton will begin airing television ads this weekend in Wisconsin, a state where she has yet to appear on television, as she works to lock down a state seemingly in her column.

Clinton's buy arrives a few days before a return visit by vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine to the state on Tuesday, and is an attempt in part to shore up the Wisconsin Senate race, where Russ Feingold enjoys a solid lead over incumbent Ron Johnson. A media buying source said that the initial reservations by the campaign were small, and the Clinton campaign described it as merely a "six-figure" buy.

Looking to boost down-ballot candidates, Clinton makes new ad buy in Wisconsin

By Abby Phillip October
Hillary Clinton's campaign has reserved new television ad time in Wisconsin — its first ads in the state in the general election — as part of an effort to boost Democrats' prospects of retaking the Senate.

The campaign has made a six-figure ad buy in three media markets: Milwaukee, Madison and Green Bay.

In a statement, Clinton's Wisconsin state director said the ads are aimed to help Democratic candidate Russell Feingold in his Senate race against Republican Sen. Ron Johnson.

“Hillary Clinton and our coordinated campaign have been running hard in Wisconsin for months talking with voters about her plans to build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top,” said Jake Hajdu, Hillary for Wisconsin state director. “Wisconsin Democrats have competitive races to win across the state, and Hillary Clinton is committed to electing Russ Feingold and Democrats up and down the ballot to help her make a real difference for families in Wisconsin.”

The campaign will air three existing ads in the state: “Mirrors,” “Silo” and “The Right Thing.”



Sen. Tim Kaine, Clinton's running mate, will also campaign in the state on Tuesday. Clinton has not campaigned in Wisconsin since the start of the general election.

1. So let me get this straight, Paul Ryan voted for the candidate endorsed by the KKK

..... Got it

[riversedge]

2. GOTV for Russ Feingold!

[BumRushDaShow]

3. The Kochs are probably going to write out a check

to take care of some contract the cheapskate refused to pay for!

[riversedge]

4. Count on it!!

[Still In Wisconsin]

5. Walker is a fucking cockroach.

When Trump's poll numbers were down Walker avoided him like the plague. Now that his numbers have recovered Walker is campaigning with him.

My guess is that he now thinks Trump might win and wants a Cabinet position.

Everything Walker does is for Walker. Nobody else matters.

[AllyCat]

6. All the media can talk about here is how Hillary has ignored WI and Trump is cominghere

I loathe the media right now. absolutely the worst kind of organizations IMHO.

[Coyotl]

7. They are trying to salvage the US Senate seat for Johnson, just pumped in $2 million.

Russ Feingold has a great lead though, and Dems are also spending another $2 million.

[IronLionZion]

8. It's going to be so satisfying to see his face when he loses to a woman

and good liberal Dems like Russ Feingold retake the Senate in a decisive mandate.

We need our people to turn out for downticket races.
