Whitmer and Evers rally around abortion for Biden in Wisconsin ahead of Trump visit

Govs. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) and Tony Evers (D-WI) gathered in Madison, Wisconsin, to rally voters for President Joe Biden one day ahead of former President Donald Trump’s visit to the Badger State.

The timing of the governors’ meeting may have been purposeful, coming shortly before the second-year anniversary of the repeal of Roe v. Wade.
