Former President Donald Trump, speaking at the Republican National Convention, openly stated his intention to buy votes in Wisconsin. Trump emphasized the economic contributions his campaign is making to the state, including over $250 million in job creation and other developments. He urged voters to remember these efforts in November and support him. Trump also mentioned the more than $200 million the convention is pumping into Wisconsin's economy and referenced a $30 billion farm bailout program he authorized as president. His remarks have sparked reactions, with some viewing them as a candid admission, while others see it as a potential Federal Election Commission (FEC) violation.
