MADISON, Wis. — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will quickly return to the Badger State next Tuesday, Oct. 22 after visiting the state this last Monday, according to the Harris Campaign.
He’ll be joined by former President Barack Obama for a rally in Madison at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday. In the evening, Walz will also travel by himself to Racine and deliver remarks at a rally around 6:45 p.m.
The visit coincides with the start of early voting in Wisconsin. The purpose of the visit will be to encourage voters to cast their ballot early for Vice President Kamala Harris and Walz, as well as other Democrats, according to the campaign.
It will be Walz’s sixth visit to Wisconsin.
Obama is the only presidential candidate in the past six elections who has won Wisconsin by more than a percentage point.
On the day before the 2012 election, Obama held a rally in Madison that attracted about 18,000 people. Another Obama rally in October of that year drew about 30,000 people.
Officials did not share any further details on the visit.
