Overview

  • On Feb. 26, the vice president toured Pointe Precision in Plover and promoted the administration’s tax-and-spending law as relief on tips, overtime and some Social Security income.
  • He campaigned with Rep. Derrick Van Orden and formally backed him for re-election, while also endorsing Rep. Tom Tiffany’s bid for governor.
  • Wisconsin’s 3rd District, which Van Orden won by under three points in 2024 as Trump carried it by seven, is rated a toss-up by the Cook Political Report.
  • The DCCC this week placed Democrat Rebecca Cooke in its Red to Blue program, bringing staff, training and fundraising help to her rematch effort.
  • The stop was part of a broader White House strategy to send top officials to battlegrounds after the State of the Union, with Trump set to visit Texas next.
