Pence coming to Wisconsin for Tiffany campaign event

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence plans to campaign in Wisconsin next week for Republican congressional candidate Tom Tiffany, the same day that President Donald Trump will be in Milwaukee for a rally.
Tiffany announced Wednesday that Pence plans to attend a get-out-the-vote event on March 19 in Rothschild. The Pence trip comes after he canceled a planned appearance in western Wisconsin last week so he could instead travel to Washington state as part of the response to the new coronavirus outbreak.
Trump announced Tuesday that he will be in Milwaukee on March 19 for a rally to launch the "Catholics for Trump" coalition. A release said the event will bring together Catholics from across the country who support Trump's re-election.
Trump's last appearance in Wisconsin, on Jan. 14, was also a Milwaukee rally.
Tiffany faces Democrat Tricia Zunker in a May 12 special election in Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District, a heavily Republican district covering northern and western Wisconsin. The winner will replace Republican Sean Duffy, who resigned last fall. President Donald Trump carried the district by 20 points in 2016.
Whoever wins will serve out the remainder of Duffy's term this year and would have to run in November for a full two-year term.
