Election Day in northeast Wisconsin will get an extra dose of excitement after you cast your ballot on Tuesday. Former President Donald Trump announced earlier this week that he is planning to make remarks at a rally in Green Bay on April 2nd. He will likely win the Republican nod in the Presidential Preference Primary that takes place along with the local elections and referendum questions that also dot the ballot that day. It is Trump’s first visit to Wisconsin since he campaigned for gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels, though he has made several stops to the Green Bay area since he first ran for president before his first term in office in 2016. With Wisconsin shaping up to be a battleground state once again in 2024, Kewaunee County Republican Party Chairperson Kirt Johnson believes Trump will encourage voters to start getting behind their candidates now.

According to a recent Marquette University poll, Trump and President Joe Biden are tied at 49 percent each, and only two percent said they are unsure who they will vote for this November. The rally is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency in Green Bay, with the doors opening at 2 p.m.
