Trump cancels Sunday Wisconsin stop

Posted
   Donald Trump has canceled a Sunday rally in Wisconsin.
 
   Trump's campaign spokesman Matt Schuck said Saturday that the rally was canceled due to a scheduling conflict. Trump was to have been in West Allis, outside of Milwaukee, around the same time that the Green Bay Packers game was kicking off.
 
   Trump's running mate Mike Pence is in Wisconsin on Saturday at a rally for Sen. Ron Johnson in Mukwonago. And Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine was to make a series of stops in Wisconsin on Sunday at Democratic campaign headquarters.
 
   A Marquette University Law School poll this week showed Hillary Clinton ahead of Trump in Wisconsin by 6 points.

   House Speaker Paul Ryan and Mike Pence are set to share the stage at a Wisconsin rally to help incumbent Republican Sen. Ron Johnson in his tight re-election battle.
 
   Pence was to appear at the Saturday rally in Mukwonago, a southeastern Wisconsin village about 30 miles south of Milwaukee. Pence is coming as Johnson is making a late push to hold onto his seat in a close race against Democratic former Sen. Russ Feingold. Polls show the race to be about even.
 
   Pence's appearance with Ryan comes after the Indiana governor refused to say whether in a National Review interview whether he would back Ryan as speaker. Ryan on Friday said he intends to seek the post again.
 
   Ryan has angered some conservatives by refusing to campaign with Trump.
