Donald Trump held a town hall event in Wisconsin, addressing topics such as national security, inflation, immigration, and his support for in vitro fertilization. The event lasted about 30 minutes, with Trump answering questions from pre-selected attendees. A highlight was Trump’s announcement of his support for full coverage of IVF treatments by the government or insurers.
Inflation was also discussed, with Trump suggesting that becoming the “energy capital of the world” and paying down debt would address rising prices. The economy was a key concern for Wisconsin voters, with many believing Trump would handle it better than Vice President Kamala Harris.
Democrats challenged Trump on various issues like abortion access, infrastructure funding, and the economy, highlighting Harris’ economic plans. Trump criticized Harris’s plans, calling them “communist.” Trump also made a comment about Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, calling him “weird.”
The event was shorter than Trump’s typical rallies, and some questions led to tangents on topics like election fraud and nuclear power. La Crosse County, where the event took place, went blue in the last two elections, with a majority voting for Joe Biden in 2020. Trump’s visit to western Wisconsin was significant, as it is a competitive area with a mix of Democratic and Republican voters.
