President Donald Trump is heading to Wisconsin on Monday to address Joe Biden on the opening day of the Democratic National Convention, as a new questioner wins the Democratic ticket in November with double figures.
Trump on Monday designed two stops: Mankato, Minnesota, and Oshkosh, Wisconsin, as part of a series of trips this week to offer counter-programming to his rival. Milwaukee would be the site of the Democratic National Convention until organizers decided to do a fully virtual event because of the coronavirus.
“I’m going to Wisconsin,” the president told Fox & Friends Monday morning before his trip.
‘We won it last time. I think we will win this time. I heard every lawn like a Trump sign was practically out there and there are no Biden signs that anyone saw anywhere, ‘he added.

A new interview shows Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris defeating President Trump by 12 points in November
Trump also went on the offensive against Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris, claiming ‘Joe is shot. ‘
‘Joe’s shot, let’s think, Joe’s shot. Now, maybe people will feel sorry for him and maybe they would not, but our country is too important for that, ‘he said.
‘You can not have a man who shoots. You may have a man who does not know where he is. You can not have a man who is afraid to leave his basement because he can no longer speak, “he added.
He suggested that Biden win votes because people ‘feel sorry for him’.
‘You can not have a spear for him and vote for him and for that reason the Kamala Harris’s will take over. She’s a disaster, ‘Trump said.
Trump’s trip comes as a new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows the Biden / Harris ticket that defeated Trump / Mike Pence by 12 points among registered voters, 53 percent to 41 percent.
The poll also shows that Biden and Harris lead 52 percent to 43 percent among those who say they are absolutely certain to vote in November and who also reported voting in 2016.
And an NBC News / Wall Street Journal poll from Sunday had Biden leading by 9 points, 50 percent to 41 percent.
Biden leads with 7.7 points in the RealClearPolitics poll on the race.
Trump shot up the numbers, pointing to a CNN interview that on Sunday showed the competition with Biden leading by just four points.
“Although crazy CNN is bad as they are, I think there was an interview that I was 14 under and I picked up 10 in the last month,” he said.
President Trump also claimed he had beaten Democrats before – Hillary Clinton, who was the 2016 nominee, and former President Barack Obama, who campaigned for Clinton that cycle and then for several Democratic candidates in the 2018 election.
“I beat them all,” he said. ‘Last time I hit Clinton. I’m hitting Obama. ‘
“He worked harder for Clinton than she worked for herself,” he added.
Trump reiterated his argument that he defeated Democrats when he campaigned in the 2018 gubernatorial race, in which Republican Brian Kemp defeated Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams. Abrams had several big name campaigns for her, including Obama and Oprah Winfrey.
‘We beat them and like in Georgia,’ he said, adding from Obama, ‘he spent a lot of time with Michelle and with Oprah in Georgia for the candidate, and I passed mine for Brian, as you know, Brian Kemp . ‘
Michelle Obama did not campaign in the race for the governor of Georgia, but she will address the Democratic convention on Monday night.
Georgia, a former reliable red state, is seen as in play this November for Democrats.
“These are the same people I beat last time and they will not unite because they cannot unite, they do not know how to unite,” Trump said of the Democratic assembly.

President Trump will make a series of trips this week to present counter-programming to the Democratic convention
Trump’s tour this week will hit states that will be critical in deciding the November 2 game, as polls show that Biden is leading in several battlefield states.
Trump’s campaign sought to diminish its rival’s leadership in the election, claiming it was related to a convention bond.
“Now the Democrats will get a lot in the polls this week,” Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” ‘I mean this is what historic Democrats get a nice hug from the convention. I would not be surprised if it even goes up from eight to ten points. I think it’s going to be a pretty big bump. ‘
The president won Wisconsin by less than one point in 2016 and Monday’s trip is part of a counterattack to the Democratic convention – a break from tradition. Most of the time, the opposition candidate remains silent during the week of her rival when the party’s nomination is officially awarded to a candidate.
Trump said he traveled this week because of the media coverage expected of the Democratic convention.
‘Well, I have no choice, because we have a fake media in this country, so I have to work. I do not have the time to do it, ‘he said.
“My biggest opponent is not Biden, it’s not the Democrats, it’s the corrupt media,” he told Fox & Friends. ‘We have a corrupt media in this country, none of which has been seen before.’
Wisconsin is particularly focused: Eric Trump will appear in Milwaukee on Tuesday, and Vice President Mike Pence will visit Darien on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Trump will be in Arizona on Tuesday and he will travel to Pennsylvania on Thursday, making a stop just outside Biden’s birthplace of Scranton on the day his rival will accept the Democratic nomination.
It is also a demonstration of how the campaign is carried out during the coronavirus pandemic, allowing rapid, one-day trips to critical areas. Some events will be held in factories, others in airport hangars.
Each of Trump’s stops this week will have its own theme, touching on an issue whose president will campaign.
In Minnesota, the state where the death of George Floyd protested against racial injustice, Trump will discuss his record as ‘president’ of law and order.
The economy will be the theme in Wisconsin, where the president will talk about growth and trade.
In Arizona on Tuesday, Trump will talk about his wall and press his strong tribune on border security.
As for Pennsylvania on Thursday, a Trump aide told Reuters that the president’s speech will review “Joe Biden’s four decades in public life” and contrast his record with Trump’s.
It is possible that the president’s schedule could have been interrupted by the funeral of his brother Robert, who died in New York City on Saturday. Trump is expected to get involved.
