Now to Local 5's Timothy Alito joining us live from
Pfizer Forum with the significance that Wisconsin and Brown County
will have in this election.
Timothy.
Yeah, Caitlin, local delegates know just how crucial Wisconsin is
to a presidential bid, with a margin of less than
1% deciding the outcome in the swing state in the
2016 and 2020 elections.
Now, that's why Republicans are hoping that former President Donald
Trump delivers a unifying message when he takes the stage
tonight, knowing that winning over undecided voters will propel Trump
closer to a win.
Many speakers so far have highlighted the importance of unity
in Wisconsin.
Delegates think that that will be the key to securing
the state confidence in Trump winning in November.
From the delegates I've heard from ranges from cautiously optimistic
to very confident, especially in the wake of President Joe
Biden's rocky debate performance.
A delegate from Brown County tells me that he believes
his county will only be one of the handful that
decides the election, but he is confident that Trump will
take his county.
Wisconsin is key to winning Trump back the presidency, especially
Brown County.
It is one of five counties in in the country
that will determine the presidential election.
It leans Republican, which I'm glad.
So I'm confident Trump is going to win Brown County
in the state of Wisconsin.
And coming up on Local 5 News at 5:00, what
U.S.
Senate candidate Eric Hovdi said about taking the stage just
two days ahead of former President Donald Trump.
For now, live in Milwaukee.
