At a recent rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, former President Donald Trump received a robust endorsement from Grammy Award-winning country music star Gretchen Wilson.

During the rally, Wilson reminisced about her upbringing in a family of Kennedy Democrats in Illinois, noting that the party once represented the interests of the people. “Back in the day my family were all Kennedy Democrats. But that’s when the Democrats were on the side of the people,” Wilson stated.
However, she expressed disenchantment with the current trajectory of the Democratic Party, declaring, “Once I started paying attention to what was really going on, I realized the Democratic Party left us.”
Wilson’s endorsement came as Wisconsin, a pivotal swing state in the upcoming presidential election, shows tight polling between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Her speech highlighted a contrast between the endorsements often seen in the political sphere, pointing out that while high-profile celebrities typically support Democratic candidates, she chose to back Trump due to shared values and concern for maintaining American freedoms.

The endorsement event comes at a time when the Democratic Party is receiving significant support from corporate leaders, as nearly 90 corporate CEOs and other leaders recently signed a letter backing Harris for president.
This shift represents a transformation within the Democratic Party, from its historical focus on working-class Americans to what some critics see as a preference for corporate power.
Wilson’s speech at the rally wasn’t just a show of support for Trump; it was also a call to action for voters who feel left behind by the current political dynamics.

As the election approaches, the support from figures like Wilson could play a crucial role in swaying voters in key battleground states like Wisconsin, where every endorsement and campaign stop can have significant electoral implications.
