President Donald Trump plans to visit Chippewa County Friday for his first trip back to Wisconsin since his appearance in Green Bay ahead of the 2024 election, Liz Huston, a regional spokesperson for the White House, told TMJ4.
According to Huston, Trump will highlight his Working Families Tax Cuts that his administration says delivered an average of $2,642 in savings to rural Wisconsinites.

He will also tout his "strong support for Wisconsin farmers," such as adding new trade markets, and his "farmer-friendly regulatory actions" that have removed red tape.
"Wisconsin families put their faith in President Trump in 2024, and he has spent every single day since taking office fighting and delivering for them," Huston said.
When Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Devin Remiker learned of the visit, he asked if Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany and Representative Derrick Van Orden would be with the president during his visit to their district.
"Tom Tiffany and Derrick Van Orden would be fools to stand with Trump as he visits Wisconsin, especially with the cost of living rising almost as fast at Trump's disapproval from outraged voters," Remiker said in a statement.
Ahead of Trump’s visit on Friday, the president of the Wisconsin Farmers Union sent the following statement directly to TMJ4:
“We welcome any opportunity to put Wisconsin agriculture in the national spotlight and to remind policymakers that family farmers are facing serious challenges. Farmers are dealing with high fuel and input costs, uncertainty around export markets, labor shortages, and continued pressure from consolidation across the food system. At the same time, they're also navigating the fallout from canceled USDA programs, staffing cuts, and policy uncertainty that have made it harder to plan for the future and invest in their operations. Wisconsin farmers need stability, not chaos. We need strong markets, reliable farm programs, support for soil health and water quality initiatives, and a government that follows through on its commitments. We hope President Trump uses this visit as an opportunity to hear directly from farmers about the challenges they're facing and does more listening than talking, so we can get our farm economy back on track.”
