Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, are holding a rally in Eau Claire on Tuesday night.

The Trump campaign announced Sunday that Trump and Pence would be at an evening rally at the W.L. Zorn Arena on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Tickets are available on the Trump campaign's website.

Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes are seen as in play in this year's presidential race. The state has not gone for a Republican for president since 1988, but GOP dominance in state-level politics has given Trump an opening.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine will also campaign in Wisconsin on Tuesday, at stops in Appleton and Madison. Chelsea Clinton will also campaign for her mother, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, in Eau Claire and Oshkosh on Wednesday and Milwaukee on Thursday.
