At This Hour With Dan Thomas

8 weeks ago Trump in Wisconsin

Visit follows illegal immigrant assault arrest

Former President Donald Trump is set to make a campaign stop in a small western Wisconsin town where a Venezuelan national is accused of attacking a woman. Trump's visit to Prairie du Chien on Saturday comes as Republicans work to parlay frustration over illegal immigration into votes for Trump. Prairie du Chien police this month arrested a 26-year-old Venezuelan after a woman accused him of sexually assaulting her and attacking her daughter. Police have said the man is affiliated with the Tren de Aragua gang and was in the country illegally.

The NYT/Siena College poll found  in Wisconsin Harris holds 49% support to Trump's 47%.



Dozens Dead

3 million without power

Hurricane Helene has caused dozens of deaths and billions of dollars of destruction across a wide swath of the southeastern U.S. More than 3 million customers are going the weekend without any power. And some continued to face the threat of floods. Helene blew ashore in Florida’s Big Bend region as a Category 4 hurricane late Thursday and then quickly moved through Georgia, the Carolinas and Tennessee, uprooting trees, splintering homes and sending creeks and rivers over their banks and straining dams. At least 44 people have been killed.
