In tight re-election battle, Scott Walker doesn't see Trump's predicted 'red wave' in Wisconsin

SCHOFIELD, Wis. — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has a message for Republican voters who believe the 2018 election is in the bag and that they shouldn’t go to the polls in November: Stop being complacent.

For months, Walker, the two-term governor of the Badger State, has been sounding the alarm for voters to take the midterms seriously as he seeks a third term in office — a direct contrast with President Trump’s repeated claim that a “red wave” is in the offing. Walker, who is in the latest iteration of a fight for his political life against Democratic challenger Tony Evers, isn’t taking the idea face value as he worries about Republicans being at a massive disadvantage in November. He senses trouble.
