President Barack Obama is scheduled to visit Milwaukee the week before the Nov. 4 elections to support gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke, according to the Associated Press.
The campaign stop is part of a seven-state tour by the President to support Democratic candidates for governor.
This includes a four-state stretch during the final week of campaigning in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Maine and Wisconsin, all of which have a competitive gubernatorial election.
High-profile political figures have endorsed both gubernatorial candidates, including two visits by First Lady Michelle Obama for Burke's campaign in Milwaukee and Madison. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie made an appearance with Gov. Walker in Hudson.
The latest Marquette University Law School poll found that, among likely voters, Walker and Burke are tied at 47 percent, with a margin of error of 3.2 percentage points. Four percent of likely voters remain undecided.
No specific time or place for the president’s visit have been announced.
