LA CROSSE, Wis. (WEAU) – With President Trump visiting Chippewa Falls, it\u2019s garnering attention from many voters across the Badger State.<\/p>\n
This includes the Coulee Region. Chairman of the Republican Party of Monroe County, Doug Rogalla, says it\u2019s huge for the president to make a return to the state that helped secure his presidential victory.<\/p>\n
\u201cTwo years ago about this time, President Trump was campaigning, and on Election Day, it was Wisconsin that carried him into the presidency. So every time President Trump comes to Wisconsin, it\u2019s an exciting thing,\u201d Rogalla says.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Chair of the 3rd Congressional District Democrats of Wisconsin, William Garcia, says the president is visiting because Republicans are in trouble in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got a big election coming up for governor. We\u2019ve got a big 3rd Congressional District race here for Congress. All of these people know that Republicans have not been delivering for the people of Wisconsin, so they\u2019re coming here to try and shore up whatever support they can,\u201d says Garcia.<\/p>\n
Rogalla adds that the president coming to the Chippewa Valley shows his support for farmers in the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe wants to hear from the farmers and understand, from their perspective, what the issues are that they\u2019re facing. If the president of the United States thinks that agriculture and what farmers do is important, then we all should be doing that,\u201d Rogalla says.<\/p>\n
Garcia and others protesting Trump\u2019s arrival outside Chippewa Valley Regional Airport believe Trump\u2019s presidency has negatively impacted Wisconsin citizens when it comes to affordability.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt every point, the Trump administration and Republicans have been making life more expensive for Wisconsinites\u2014from the war in Iran, to the tariffs and the trade wars, to giving tax cuts to billionaires while cutting services for normal working Wisconsinites. Across the board, we are suffering because of the policies of Donald Trump,” Garcia says.<\/p>\n
This stop marks President Trump\u2019s first visit to the Badger State since his campaign events in 2024.<\/p>\n
