Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, visited Waukesha on Monday, where he was joined by Waukesha Mayor Shawn Reilly, a former Republican now independent, who endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. The event took place amid a politically charged atmosphere, with both Walz-Harris and Trump signs visible in the area.During an exclusive interview with WISN 12 News Political Director Matt Smith, Walz addressed former President Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden, drawing a controversial comparison to a Nazi rally in the 1930s. Walz emphasized the parallels in the rhetoric of hate and division, particularly citing Trump’s stance on Puerto Rico and his divisive tactics. “This idea of going after Puerto Rico. I’m making the case it’s the people closest to him,” Walz said. The campaigns are in their final stages, with Harris and Trump scheduled to return to Wisconsin on Wednesday as part of a battleground blitz. The political landscape remains tense as the candidates vie for support in this crucial state.Earlier in the day, Walz stopped in Manitowoc. This marked Walz’s seventh visit to Wisconsin since joining the Harris-Walz ticket. Previous visits included stops in Eau Claire on Aug. 7, Milwaukee on Aug. 20, Milwaukee for Laborfest on Sept. 2, Wausau on Sept. 13, Superior on Sept. 14, and Eau Claire and Green Bay on Oct. 14.
