'I love Milwaukee. I was the one that picked Milwaukee. I have to tell you,' Trump told the crowd at a rally in Racine.
“I love Milwaukee. I was the one that picked Milwaukee. I have to tell you,” Trump told the crowd at a rally in Racine, opening his remarks by addressing the controversy. “I was the one that picked it. These lying people that they say, ‘Oh, he doesn’t like Milwaukee.’ I love Milwaukee. I said you got to fix the crime — we all know that — you got to make sure the election’s honest, but I’m the one that picked Milwaukee.
Wisconsin remains part of the “Blue Wall” states, along with Michigan and Pennsylvania, that Trump won in 2016, sending him to the White House. But he lost the state just four years later against President Joe Biden. Trump’s trip to the state, his third since announcing his run for president, underscored its importance to his electoral chances. However, the former president is also betting that political dynamics nationally will help him win in the biggest battlegrounds.The Biden administration announced on Tuesday new legal protections and an easier path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens who have lived in the country for more than a decade.
“He’s going to formally grant a mass amnesty to millions of illegal aliens that came into our country,” Trump said as the crowd booed. He later called the executive action “an illegal, unconstitutional amnesty, without approval from Congress, no approval from the courts or the American people.”The RNC convention will take place July 15-18, mere days after Trump will be sentenced on July 11 as part of his hush money case in New York.
