White House officials said Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts delivered several victories for Wisconsin farmers, including crop insurance savings, farm safety net funding and tax savings for rural Wisconsinites.

In response to Trump's upcoming visit, Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Devin Remiker shared the following statement:

"Tom Tiffany and Derrick Van Orden would be fools to stand with Trump as he visits Wisconsin, especially with the cost of living rising almost as fast as Trump’s disapproval from outraged voters.
