Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker will attend multiple Donald Trump events on Tuesday in the Badger State, where Mr. Trump will be holding a campaign rally and taping a Fox News town hall.
Mr. Walker said he’ll be at the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee, where Mr. Trump will be participating in the town hall, as well as at a rally in West Bend.
“If Donald Trump’s going to win here and win across the country, he needs to make it clear that the race is between him and Hillary Clinton,” Mr. Walker said Tuesday on “Fox and Friends.” “Every day we talk about Hillary Clinton is a better day for him because people can see here and across the country she’s fundamentally unfit to be the” president.
Mr. Walker, a former 2016 GOP presidential candidate, did not attend a recent Trump event in Wisconsin amid a feud Mr. Trump was having at the time with House Speaker Paul D. Ryan.
Mr. Walker had been planning to view flood damage in the northern part of the state and a spokesman said he would participate in future events with Mr. Trump if they didn’t interfere with his official duties, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The governor has made multiple recent appearances in the state with Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Mr. Trump’s running mate.
Mr. Trump’s visit to the state will come just days after a black police officer shot and killed a black man over the weekend in Milwaukee. Officials said the man was armed, and the incident sparked violent protests and subsequent arrests for disorderly conduct.
“I think people understand in that neighborhood, in Sherman Park, and in Milwaukee that they want law enforcement to step up and protect them,” Mr. Walker said. “The people who live in that neighborhood want … the police in Milwaukee and the sheriff’s department to step up and protect them.”
