Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will join U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan and other top Wisconsin Republicans at a campaign stop in Elkhorn this weekend.
Ryan’s office announced the visit. Trump and Ryan are scheduled to speak at the 1st Congressional District Republican Party of Wisconsin Fall Fest at the Walworth County fairgrounds. U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, Gov. Scott Walker and Republican Attorney General Brad Schimel will also attend, according to Ryan’s office.
While Ryan has endorsed Trump, he has also been critical of the GOP nominee. The two have not shared a stage since Trump won the nomination.
