Tonight, both presidential candidates are holding rallies in and around Milwaukee.
Donald Trump is scheduled to speak within the hour at the Fiserv Forum downtown.
That's where “Here& Now” reporter Nathan Denzin is.
And hi, Nathan.
Hi, Fred.
So what time is Donald Trump scheduled to take the stage?
And who have you been hearing from in that crowd until he does?
>> Yeah.
So Trump is expected to speak here at about 8:00.
But we know with a lot of Trump rallies he can show up late.
So probably about 830 is realistic in the meantime, people here have heard from a lot of former and current Wisconsin representatives, former Governors Tommy Thompson and Scott Walker were both here, as were Representatives Brian Steil Scott Fitzgerald, Senator Ron Johnson and Senate candidate Eric Hovde.
So very Wisconsin specific.
Not a lot of outside people, but what's the energy like there inside, it's very high.
It is very high energy in here.
about 7 a.m.
This morning, there was a line that was already forming and it's pretty full in here.
>> The second section in here was curtained off initially, but they've been opening up that more and more as we've gotten close to the Trump speaking.
There is not an empty seat in here.
If that seat is available, why would Donald Trump visit a Democratic stronghold like Milwaukee once again?
>> Just chuck it to him.
>> Yeah.
So it harkens back to the advice that former Governor Tommy Thompson had given to Republicans in the state, and that is to really hit these areas of Madison and Milwaukee hard.
If you look at it, the percentages, it might say that they're very, very democratic.
And that's true.
But there's still a lot of Republican votes in these cities, and they don't get to see their their presidential candidate very often.
So Republicans are trying to hit these areas to drive out those voters because, as we know, in a state like Wisconsin, every vote counts.
to Wisconsin this week, as we have mentioned.
Where else has Trump rallied?
>> Yeah.
So Trump was also in green Bay on Wednesday, where he rallied with former legendary Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre.
And he really urged his supporters to get out the vote.
Here's what he had to say with your vote this November, we are going to fire Kamala and we are going to save America.
>> We will cut your taxes, end inflation, slash your prices, raise your wages and bring thousands of factories back to America.
And in fact, we're going to bring a lot of them right back to Wisconsin.
>> So we saw him there in his reflective vest as a prop to highlight a comment that Joe Biden had made earlier this week.
But it does sure seem, Nathan, like these campaigns are leaving it all on the field in the final days.
Can you sense that from the crowd as well?
Yeah, absolutely.
stops here tonight.
The music is loud, as you can probably hear behind me.
They've had the t shirt cannon out.
They really care about this state.
>> In his many visits to Wisconsin, who is Trump hoping to turn out?
>> Well, really?
He's hoping to turn out his base here.
He's probably not changing many minds, but it is.
Rally in green Bay.
He was in the bow counties of Brown, Outagamie and Winnebago, which is a really strong Republican stronghold.
>> And here the wow counties of Washington, Ozaki and Waukesha are very close.
>> And those have been trending a little bit blue in recent years.
But it still can be counted on, as you know, a lot of Republican votes that that could be coming to Trump.
So he's trying to drive out his base in these last, last hours of the election here in Wisconsin.
really appreciate your reporting from the Fiserv Forum there in Milwaukee with that loud music, the t shirt cannons and all the the t shirt cannons and all the
