Wisconsin Republicans hitch their star to Trump. Is that really a good idea?
Wisconsin Republicans Tom Tiffany and Derrick Van Orden publicly supported Donald Trump at a rural event despite his low approval rating and policies linked to economic struggles for farmers. Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' includes Medicaid cuts that could worsen rural healthcare access, countered by a smaller rural healthcare fund. The event focused on Trump's rhetoric rather than addressing economic challenges like high fuel and fertilizer prices.
