MILWAUKEE (AP) - Eric Trump touted his father’s support for police during a stop in Milwaukee on Tuesday.

The son of President Donald Trump said Tuesday that his father is the candidate who stands up for law enforcement. Eric Trump spoke to the Milwaukee Police Association, which has endorsed President Trump for reelection.

“You’ve always been there for us, and I promise you my father will always be there for the brave men and women,” the younger Trump told the officers, WITI-TV reported.

The International Union of Police Associations has endorsed Trump for reelection. Before introducing Eric Trump, Milwaukee Police Association President Dale Bormann announced that the association also endorses the Republican president for reelection.

“There is no doubt that President Donald Trump is the absolute right person during this most difficult times to lead our great nation,” Bormann said.

But Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat and Wisconsin’s top law enforcement official, said from his perspective, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden “is clearly the better candidate in this race when it comes to public safety.”

Eric Trump spoke as Democrats hold a virtual national convention in Milwaukee because of the coronavirus pandemic.
