Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Wisconsin on Trump’s campaign schedule this week

All eyes are on the campaigns of former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris as the 2024 Presidential Elections turns towards the home stretch.

Polls have generally moved in Harris’ direction after the pair’s Sept. 10 debate, including a USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll taken after the debate showed Harris up 49%-46% in the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania.

However, the Trump camp was buoyed by a New York Times/Sienna poll that showed the Republican nominee up in Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina.

Harris remained the betting favorite as of Monday, an indicator that has only missed twice in modern electoral history.

Both candidates will stump across the swing states this week as Trump is scheduled to hit Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan and Wisconsin.

Here is Donald Trump’s campaign schedule this week.

Donald Trump’s schedule from 9/24 – 9/30

Sept. 24: Savannah, Georgia

Trump is scheduled to make remarks in Georgia Tuesday, weeks after Harris and Walz barnstormed the state.

A notice for the Savannah event says that Trump will, “deliver remarks outlining his plan to lower taxes for American business owners and highlight the importance of buying American made goods.”

Harris capped her Georgia bus tour in August with a rally at the Enmarket Arena that saw over 5,000 supporters.

Build baby build? Kamala Harris’ plan to add 3 million housing units is an ‘ambitious’ 50% jump, experts say

Sept. 25: Mint Hill, North Carolina

Trump will hold a rally in Mint Hill, North Carolina on Wednesday.

The appearance will be Trump’s first since it was revealed that Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, the gubernatorial candidate that Trump endorsed, made a slew of racist and lewd remarks on a porn site, including calling himself a “black NAZI!.”

Multiple senior members of the Robinson campaign quit and Tennesse Gov. and head of the Republican Governor’s Association Bill Lee withdrew his endorsement of Robinson on Monday.

Sept. 27: Michigan

Trump has a double feature in Michigan Friday.

He is set to hold a rally in Walker, then hold a town hall in Warren.

Trump previously held a town hall in Flint, where he refused to admit he lost the 2020 elections and pushed conspiracies of fraud, days after his decisive debate loss to Harris.

The bro vote: Trump and Harris duel over what it means to be a man in America

Sept. 28: Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin

Trump is scheduled to round out the week in Wisconsin, where he will hold a rally in Prairie du Chien.

Right wing politicians, including Wisconsin Republican Senate Candidate Eric Hovde and U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden, have attempted to cast the town as a victim of Venezuelan gang violence, saying that a man with connections to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua attacked a woman and her daughter in the town.

While Alejandro Jose Coronel Zarate has been charged with three felonies and does have connections to the transnational gang, local police have said that the attack was not random and that the victims were acquaintances with Zarate and brought him to Prairie du Chien from Madison.

US animal rights activists clash with police over Wisconsin dog breeder

US animal rights activists clash with police over Wisconsin dog breeder

About 1,000 animal welfare activists who tried to gain entry on Saturday to a beagle breeding and research facility in Wisconsin were turned back by police who fired rubber bullets and pepper spray into the crowd and arrested the group’s leader.

It was the second attempt in as many months by protesters to take beagles from the Ridglan Farms facility in Blue Mounds, a small town about 25 miles (about 40 kilometres) southwest of Wisconsin’s capital, Madison.

Dane County Sheriff Kalvin Barrett said in a video statement that 300 to 400 protesters were “violently trying to break into the property” and assault officers. He said protesters have ignored designated areas for peaceful protest and blocked roads to prevent emergency vehicles from entering.

“This is not a peaceful protest,” Barrett said.

The sheriff’s department said a “significant” number of people were arrested out of about 1,000 protesters at the site but did not give an exact total as they were still being processed as of the afternoon.

Protesters tried to overcome barricades that included a manure-filled trench, hay bales and a barbed-wire fence. Some protesters did get through the fence but were unable to enter the facility, where an estimated 2,000 beagles are kept, the Wisconsin State Journal reported.

Wisconsin basketball signs Miami transfer Eian Elmer, who gives ‘scoring punch’

The Wisconsin men’s basketball team has signed Miami (OH) transfer Eian Elmer.
Elmer, a 6-foot-7 wing, averaged 12.7 points and 5.9 rebounds last season while shooting efficiently from 3-point range.
He is the third transfer portal addition for the Badgers this offseason.

Wisconsin men’s basketball has added a sharpshooting wing via the transfer portal.

Miami (Ohio) transfer Eian Elmer has signed with the Badgers, the team announced April 18. The 6-foot-7 wing will join UW with one year of eligibility remaining.

Elmer averaged a career-high 12.7 points and 5.9 rebounds while shooting 49.8% from the field and 42.9% from 3-point range in 2025-26. His production helped the RedHawks go 32-2 and earn an at-large NCAA Tournament bid.

“We are really excited to add another excellent addition to our spring signees,” UW coach Greg Gard said in a release. “Eian brings a wealth of experience and scoring punch as a 6-7 wing. … A terrific shooter, his skillset and production fit excellently into our plan as we build out next year’s team. Throughout our evaluation process, our staff loved his size, power and skill and truly believe he will thrive in our system.”

Elmer is Wisconsin’s third transfer portal addition since the end of the 2025-26 season, joining former George Washington guard Trey Autry and former Hofstra forward Victory Onuetu. UW also added Australian guard Owen Foxwell.

The additions of Autry, Onuetu and now Elmer leave Gard’s staff with three more roster spots to fill ahead of the 2026-27 season.

The Badgers are looking to replace much of their production from a 2025-26 team that went 24-11. Nolan Winter is expected to be the team’s only returning starter after John Blackwell and Aleksas Bieliauskas entered the transfer portal and Nick Boyd and Andrew Rohde exhausted their eligibility.
