Cubs Co-Owner To Host Trump Fundraiser In Wisconsin

MILWAUKEE, WI — The day after five Democratic presidential candidates visit Wisconsin for a town hall, Chicago Cubs co-owner Todd Ricketts will host a campaign fundraiser for President Donald Trump in Milwaukee.

On Thursday, the League of United Latin American Citizens will host a Democratic Presidential Town Hall at the Wisconsin Center in Downtown Milwaukee. Four presidential candidates are expected to attend. Bernie Sanders, Julian Castro, Beto O'Rourke and Elizabeth Warren are all on the list.

According to media reports, Trump is coming to Milwaukee less than 24 hours later. GOP spokesman Charles Nichols said the state party learned from the Republican National Committee Monday morning that Trump is scheduled to attend a fundraiser in Milwaukee Friday.

According to the Journal Sentinel, the fundraiser will cost in excess of $2,000 to attend, and Ricketts is listed as a host along with RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and co-chairman Tommy Hicks, Jr. The time and location of the fundraiser have not been made public.

In June, Ricketts hosted an invitation-only Trump donor retreat at the Cubs' office building next to Wrigley Field.
