Vice President JD Vance will visit Milwaukee Wednesday to highlight the Trump administration’s efforts to combat fraud through the White House task force he chairs.
Vance is scheduled to deliver remarks at 11:30 am at the Wisconsin Air National Guard’s 128th Air Refueling Wing at Mitchell International Airport. The event focuses on the administration’s work rooting out waste, fraud and abuse in federal programs, building on earlier stops in other states.
The Vice President leads the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, which was established earlier this year. Administration officials say the effort has already identified billions in improper payments and questionable benefits, particularly in areas such as food assistance and other entitlement programs. Vance has criticized some Democrat-led states, including Wisconsin, for refusing to share data that could help track fraud.
Governor Tony Evers has refused to provide data on FoodShare recipients who receive federal benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Attorney General Josh Kaul joined a multistate lawsuit against Trump Administration efforts to obtain state level data to investigate potential fraud.
Wisconsin, a key battleground state, has been a repeated focus for the Administration on government efficiency. Vance last visited the state in February, when he discussed similar fraud concerns in La Crosse.
Wednesday’s stop comes as the task force continues its nationwide push and will also include a private fundraiser for the Republican National Committee Wednesday night.
