Former President Donald Trump had a strong final week of September as the race for president enters the home stretch.
…
Gallup released an in-depth analysis Tuesday showing that the Republican Party has the advantage in two of the most important election predicting indicators: party affiliation and the answer to which party is better able to handle the country’s problems.
The analysis found that 48 percent of Americans identify or lean Republican, compared to 45 percent of Americans who identify or lean Democratic. That’s the first time Republicans held an advantage on party ID in two decades.
It also showed that 46 percent say the GOP is better able to handle the country’s most important problem, compared to 41 percent who said the same of the Democratic Party. These two measures have the strongest relationship to past presidential election outcomes.
“The political environment suggests the election is Trump’s and Republicans’ to lose,” Gallup’s analysis reads.

ICYMI: ‘Trump lays into Harris on immigration during a rally in Wisconsin’
PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, Wis. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump sought again to link Vice President Kamala Harris to illegal border crossings, speaking in a western river town where he said she could never be forgiven for “erasing our border.”
A day after Harris discussed immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border, Trump spoke to a crowd in the Wisconsin town of 5,000 people just across the Mississippi River from Iowa, claiming the Democratic nominee was responsible for migrants who have come into the country illegally and have committed crimes.
“Kamala Harris can never be forgiven for her erasing our border and she must never be allowed to become president of the United States,” Trump said. “She’s letting in people who are going to walk into your house, break into your door,” he said.
…
On the Wisconsin rally stage with Trump were three mugshots of men in the U.S. illegally accused of a crime, including Alejandro Jose Coronel Zarate, a case Trump cited in his speech.
Wisconsin Republicans in recent days have held up the story of Coronel Zarate’s arrest in Prairie du Chien as more evidence that people in the country illegally are committing crimes across the United States, not just in southern border states. Prosecutors charged Coronel Zarate on Sept. 18 with sexual assault, child abuse, strangulation and domestic abuse.
Police Chief Kyle Teynor posted statements on Facebook saying that Coronel Zarate is not a U.S. citizen and that he had two fake immigration documents, including a fake Social Security card. The chief added that Coronel Zarate’s tattoos indicate he’s affiliated with the Tren de Aragua gang, which started in Venezuelan prisons and is posing a growing threat in the U.S.
Speaking to the crowd Saturday, Teynor stressed to the crowd that Coronel Zarate is the only Venezuelan gang member his agency has encountered, but the violence his two alleged victims suffered at his hands earlier this month was very real.
Court records show Coronel Zarate was previously charged in Madison, the state capital, in December with strangulation, false imprisonment, battery and disorderly conduct. According to a criminal complaint in that case, Coronel Zarate was driving with a female friend in November and attacked her when she tried to get out of the car. The complaint does not say why. The woman told investigators that they were just acquaintances and Coronel Zarate was homeless.
…
Crawford County Sheriff Sheriff Dale McCullick also addressed the crowd, and said he was sure Trump would solve the border problem and urged people to vote for Trump.
Republicans including U.S. Sen. Derrick Van Orden, who is from Prairie du Chien, have criticized authorities in both Minneapolis and Madison for letting Coronel Zarate go, saying they essentially allowed him to attack the woman in Prairie du Chien. They have accused both jurisdictions of being sanctuaries for people in the country illegally.
Speaking Saturday, Van Orden said Trump was the only one who could restore order.
“You’re going to see the one man who has enough strength and courage of conviction to stand up to anyone up to and including being shot in the head for us,” he said.
President Donald J. Trump to Deliver Remarks in Waunakee, Wisconsin
President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will deliver remarks in Waunakee, Wisconsin on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, at 1:30PM CDT.
Kamalanomics has devastated Wisconsin families. Overall, prices are up 20 percent since Kamala Harris and Joe Biden took office, with groceries up 21.5 percent, rent up 22.5 percent, and electricity up 30.7 percent. Americans are increasingly borrowing to cover daily expenses, finding their regular income is no longer enough to make ends meet, resulting in a record $17.69 trillion of household debt and over $1 trillion in credit card debt for families across the country.
Wisconsin’s agriculture industry is among those hit the hardest. Agriculture contributes over 435,000 jobs to the state economy, but as farmers grapple with sky-high input costs and crippling red tape from the Harris-Biden administration, over 450 dairy farms ceased operations in 2023 alone. Harris and Biden’s proposed death tax would further hurt family farmers’ ability to pass their legacies to the next generation.
When Wisconsinites send President Trump back to the White House, he will lower input costs for our farmers, cut ten regulations for each new regulation implemented, and help, not hurt, farmers’ ability to feed the world. While Kamala Harris desperately tries to run from her four years of failure for farmers, workers, and families across the state, Wisconsinites know that only President Trump can Make America Wealthy, Safe, Strong, and Great Again.
