Supporters of Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker are giving him a rousing send-off as the Wisconsin governor heads to Ohio for the first debate of the 2016 campaign.
Cheers of “Go get ’em, Scott!” rang out from a crowd Thursday at the Wisconsin State Fair, where Walker visited before leaving for Cleveland.
Walker, looking relaxed in a blue fair polo shirt, jeans and sneakers, said at the opening ceremony he couldn’t miss the first day of an annual event he loves.
