Happening Now: Trump, Tulsi Gabbard host town hall in Wisconsin

Former President Trump is expected to visit La Crosse, Wis., Thursday, where he will deliver remarks during a town hall.

Thursday's event will be moderated by former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (I-Hawaii), who endorsed the former president earlier this week during a campaign event in Detroit. Gabbard, who ran against President Biden and Vice President Harris in 2020 before leaving the Democratic Party, was recently added to Trump's transition team.

The town hall marks the former president's first campaign visit to the Badger State since he accepted the GOP nomination last month at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. The convention ended just days before Biden announced he was dropping out of the race and endorsing Harris.

Before Biden's decision to step aside, Trump was leading the president by 1.5 points in the state — 46.9 percent to 45.4 percent. The Hill/Decision Desk HQ's aggregate of polls shows Harris on top in Wisconsin, garnering 49.6 percent support to her GOP rival's 46.5 percent.

The event is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. EDT.

Local issues can become national issues, if they are not addressed.

Trump rambled on for 5 mins and touched about 5 different things when tulsi asked about ivf. God he’s so out of it

[InsanePandaWanderer]

Is the 3 hour video really necessary? They start speaking after 2 and a half hours.

Thought the circus's ended years ago...

"Not the smartest light in the ceiling" - stable genius

[tanitatt]

So Kamala has a pre recorded interview and trump has an unscripted town hall

[frankcross]

finally! trump is getting tulsi involved. shoulda picked her as VP!!!

[patrickturner]

Thats the best national anthem performance I've heard in a long time

[VVei]

asking in good faith sincerely, why can't this be edited to the point that they take the stage instead of 2+ hours of dead air?

[Orygungurlz]

Terrible sound quality... you would think at the very least you would be able to hear the "town hall". 😂

[walterwilliams]

I bet he regrets not picking her as VP.

[thebarnetts]

He didn't even remember he was doing this? Wow!

[emakelley]

Tulsi looks pained when he calls Kamala a comrade Marxist... 😬😬
Thought she was coaching him? 🤣 he's embarrassing her...

[josephbosca]

Trump should have picked Tulsi for vp. They look great on stage together. They have great chemistry, and as you can see Tulsi brings out the best in trump. Trump at least should pick Tulsi for Secretary of state.

[profjcpodcast]

She should be the VP pick.
There. I said it.

[s_greezy]

"107 percent are taken by immigrants." How??? 😂😂😂 And they clap for that nonsense..

[brianw]

I wonder what kind of disaster this town hall would have been without Tulsi's mentoring.

[ClarkEoC]

Omfg...just make Tulsi the last minute GOP nominee...not like the rules or norms matter anymore anyway.

[highflowerfairy]

He wants to be president, but he's so out of the loop he didn't know he was doing a town hall. Okay, bud.

[WM-jydz]

...he gets now even sued by ABBA as they didn't give him the permission to use their music 😅😁😅
