Vice President Mike Pence is making a swing through the Midwest on Thursday, with stops in Wisconsin and Minnesota, as part of President Donald Trump's 2020 re-election bid.

Pence will be at the InterContinental St. Paul Riverfront hotel Thursday at 5 p.m. for a campaign event with Second Lady Karen Pence.

Earlier in the day, the couple are hosting a Women for Trump event at the Stoney Creek Hotel & Conference Center in Onalaska, Wis.

The visit comes on the heels of Minnesota's presidential primary on Super Tuesday; Trump is the only name listed on the Republican Party's ballot.

Trump won Wisconsin and narrowly lost Minnesota four years ago, putting both states in his sights for the 2020 election.
