MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WSAU) - President Barack Obama will be in Milwaukee on Labor Day.
Republican Party of Wisconsin Chairman Reince Priebus says in a statement that this visit is indicative of just how desperate the Democrats are about their chances of winning in November.
Mordecai Lee, Political Science Professor at UW Milwaukee, disagrees. Lee says, while it is important for Obama to get U.S. Senator Russ Feingold reelected and get Tom Barrett into the governor’s office, Obama’s visit doesn’t necessarily mean that the Democrats are in trouble.
The President was in Wisconsin just a couple of weeks ago attending fundraisers for Barrett and the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. Monday’s visit will be Obama’s fifth trip to the state since he was elected.
He will speak on the economy at the annual Laborfest put on by the Milwaukee Area Labor Council.
