Trump’s campaign trip to battleground states overlaps with the Democratic National Convention, which is set to be held in Milwaukee this week, although on a very scaled-down and mostly virtual basis due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Republican National Convention is scheduled for next week but few details about the events have been released.
