The flaring tension over the resettlement of refugees in Eau Claire has been repeated in many other midsize communities across the U.S.

In a region of Wisconsin both campaigns are targeting, vice presidential hopeful JD Vance criticized Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris' track record on immigration, defended his claims that cats and dogs were being consumed in Ohio and blamed Democrats for the most recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

JD Vance will make his fifth trip to Wisconsin next week since Donald Trump tapped him to be his running mate in July during the RNC in Milwaukee.
