Wisconsinites have been deeply harmed by Trump's failures on health care and the economy MADISON -- On the heels of five statewide Democratic victories in Wisconsin in November, President Trump is coming to Wisconsin to rally support in what will undoubtedly be a tight race for Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes. Having won Wisconsin by a mere 22,000 votes in 2016, Trump faces an uphill battle to regain the trust of voters who have since been harmed by Trump’s broken promises on health care and the economy. “Wisconsinites can’t afford anymore of Trump’s lies,” said Martha Laning, Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. “When Trump describes his plans as the ‘biggest’ and the ‘best,’ what he really means is the biggest and the best for himself and his wealthy, powerful friends, not everyday working Wisconsinites who are just trying to make a good life for themselves.” Trump promised Wisconsin voters in 2016 that his health care system would be “so much better and so much less expensive” than the Affordable Care Act, but his numerous attempts to sabotage the ACA jeopardized health care coverage for the 2.4 million Wisconsinites who live with a pre-existing condition and spiked the cost of premiums in Wisconsin by 36% in 2018. “Trump has to campaign on his record this time around, and that record is one of lies, broken promises and outright cruelty,” added Laning. “Wisconsinites know what becomes of Trump’s ‘promises,’ and they’re going to hold him accountable for letting them down.” |
