MILWAUKEE (AP) — An early voting event with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in Milwaukee is kicking off a week of big rallies in Wisconsin just two weeks before the Nov. 6 election.

Hundreds of people were gathering Monday for the Sanders rally at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee student union. The independent senator and 2016 presidential candidate who won the Wisconsin primary was to be joined by U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, gubernatorial candidate Tony Evers and other Democratic candidates.

His visit comes before President Donald Trump was to host a rally near Wausau on Wednesday. He was to be joined by Gov. Scott Walker and Baldwin’s Republican challenger Leah Vukmir.

And on Friday, former President Barack Obama was to be in Milwaukee for an early voting rally.
